Form C.38 is used for which purpose?

• A. Transire
• B. Certificate of Clearance of Vessel
• C. Attendance Request
• D. Report Inwards of Vessels

Answer: (A)

Form C.38 is the document used to authorize a vessel’s transit through Bahamian waters without calling at a Bahamian port or taking on or discharging cargo. It records the planned transit route and timing so customs can supervise movement while the vessel remains in transit. This is different from a Certificate of Clearance of Vessel, which is needed when a vessel is actually clearing into or out of a Bahamian port, and from a Report Inwards of Vessels, which is filed when a vessel arrives, or an Attendance Request, which handles other administrative needs not related to transit.
