An aircraft arrives from Miami with cargo that is to be cleared inwards. Which form and number is used to clear the aircraft inwards?

• A. C.7 - Aircraft General Inwards Declaration
• B. C.7A - Inward Declaration and Cruising Permit for Private Aircraft Entering The Bahamas
• C. C.10 - Application to Amend Inward Report - Outward Manifest
• D. C.36 - Certificate of Clearance of Vessel

Answer: (A)

When an aircraft arrives with cargo that needs to be cleared inwards, the document used is the Aircraft General Inwards Declaration. This form captures all the essential arrival details, including origin, operator, and the cargo manifest, allowing Bahamas Customs to assess duties and process clearance for the inward flow of goods.

The Inward Declaration and Cruising Permit for Private Aircraft Entering The Bahamas is a related form, but it applies specifically to private aircraft and cruising permits. For a standard inward clearance of cargo on an aircraft, the general inward declaration is the correct one.

The other forms serve different functions—one is for amending inward or outward records, and the other is a certificate related to vessels, not aircraft.
