Which form records dutiable goods in possession of the crew on a vessel or aircraft?

• A. C.6 - Declaration of Dutiable Goods in Possession of the Crew Aircraft or Vessel
• B. C.5 - Declaration of Consumables Stores on Board the Vessel
• C. C.2 - Report Inwards of Vessels
• D. C.3 - Parcels List

Answer: (A)

When customs asks to track what dutiable items are on board and held by the crew, there’s a specific declaration for that purpose. The form called the Declaration of Dutiable Goods in Possession of the Crew on Aircraft or Vessel is exactly what records those items. It ensures that anything owned by crew or carried aboard that could be subject to duties is formally declared, so duties can be assessed and proper clearance obtained.

This is separate from documents that handle other on-board items. For example, a declaration about consumables stores on board covers everyday supplies and isn’t the record used for dutiable goods in crew possession. Other forms handle arrival reporting and listing parcels, which are about reporting the vessel’s overall entry or detailing packages rather than specifically cataloging dutiable crew-held goods.
