Which form declares consumable stores on board the vessel?

• A. Form C7 Aircraft General Declaration
• B. Form C4 Vessel Passenger List
• C. Form C5 Declaration of Consumable Stores on board the vessel
• D. Form C2 Report Inwards of Vessel

Answer: (C)

The item being tested is how ships formally list supplies kept on board for use and consumption. Consumable stores are the provisions and supplies that aren’t cargo for sale—things like food, drinking water, fuel, medicines, and other items crew rely on during the voyage. The Declaration of Consumable Stores on board the vessel is the form specifically designed to record these on-board supplies so customs can see what is on the ship, determine any duties or permits needed, and ensure everything is properly accounted for when the vessel enters or leaves port. The other forms serve different purposes—one for aircraft, another for listing passengers, and another for reporting inbound vessel details—so they aren’t suitable for declaring on-board consumables.
