Which form is used for declaration of consumables stores on board?

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

Answer: (A)

The form used for declaring consumables stores on board a vessel is the one specifically titled Declaration of Consumables Stores on Board the Vessel. This form is designed to record items the ship carries for crew and passengers that are not cargo—things like provisions, beverages, fuel, medicines, and other on-board supplies—so customs can verify quantities and ensure proper handling. It distinguishes these stores from other declarations, such as the inward report for vessels entering port, the parcels list for packaged goods, or the declaration of dutiable goods for items subject to duties. By using this form, the crew provides a clear inventory of on-board consumables, helping with compliance and preventing issues related to undeclared or restricted items.
