What is Form C.1 used for?

• A. Attendance Request - An application for the attendance of Customs Officers at any place where Customs Officers do not normally attend.
• B. Report Inwards of Vessels
• C. Aircraft General Declaration
• D. Transire

Answer: (A)

Form C.1 is the formal way to request the presence of Customs Officers at a location or event where their attendance isn’t routine. It provides the authority and planning basis for assigning officers, outlining the location, date, purpose, and level of support needed so enforcement, inspection, or supervision can occur legally and efficiently. This ensures resources are allocated properly and that there’s a clear paper trail for why officers are required at that place and time. Other forms serve different functions, such as reporting ship arrivals or declaring aircraft requirements, and aren’t used to authorize officer attendance at non-routine locations.
