Which form corresponds to a Transshipment Entry?

• A. C.35 - Transshipment Entry
• B. C.41 - Request to Import Goods for a Temporary Use or Purpose
• C. C.13 - Home Consumption Entry
• D. C.16 - Warehousing Entry

Answer: (A)

Transshipment entry is used for goods that are entering the country only to move onward to another destination, not for use in Bahamas. The form for this purpose records the movement under customs supervision, naming the carrier and the final destination, so the goods can be re-exported or transferred to another conveyance without declaring them for local consumption. This ensures that duties and procedures apply to the transit process, not to Bahamian use. Other forms apply to different situations: one is for goods brought in temporarily for a specific use, not for through movement; another is for releasing goods for Bahamian consumption; and another covers placing goods in a licensed warehouse under customs control. These scenarios do not match the transit flow, which is why the transshipment form is the correct choice.
