C.38 corresponds to which entry type or form?

• A. C.38 - Transire
• B. C.35 - Transshipment Entry
• C. C.13 - Home Consumption Entry
• D. C.41 - Temporary Use Entry

Answer: (A)

The form C.38 is used for goods that are in transit through the Bahamas. This means the shipment is only passing through the country on its way to a final destination and isn’t intended for domestic use or sale. The transit entry keeps the goods under customs control, often with a guarantee, but duties aren’t charged as long as the goods exit the country as planned.

This is different from a Transshipment Entry, which deals with goods that are landed in Bahamas and then moved again to another carrier or destination within the port area; a Home Consumption Entry is for goods imported for local use and subject to duty and taxes; and a Temporary Use Entry covers goods brought in temporarily with the obligation to re-export. So the correct match is the Transire form for in-transit shipments.
