Which form is used to report inwards of vessels?

• A. Maritime Health Declaration
• B. C.2 - Report Inwards of Vessels
• C. C.3 - Parcels List
• D. Cargo Manifest

Answer: (B)

Reporting inward is the process of notifying customs that a vessel has entered a port. The form used for this purpose is the inward report form for vessels, specifically called C.2 - Report Inwards of Vessels. It provides customs with essential arrival information: vessel name, flag, voyage details, port of entry, estimated time of arrival, master and crew details, passenger numbers, and the status of cargo. This ensures proper arrival processing and regulatory checks before any unloading or clearance. The other documents serve different functions: a Maritime Health Declaration concerns health status on board, a Parcels List documents individual packages, and a Cargo Manifest lists the cargo on board for clearance. Hence, C.2 is the correct form for reporting inwards of vessels.
