Form C.38 is used for which purpose?

• A. Transire
• B. Certificate of Clearance of Vessel
• C. Attendance Request
• D. Report Inwards of Vessels

Answer: (A)

Form C.38 is a transit document. It authorizes the movement of goods through the Bahamas without domestic clearance at the first port, guiding them to a final destination or export point. It records who is sending, who is receiving, and where the goods are going, and it ensures duties and controls are settled at the ultimate destination or upon re-export. This is exactly what “Transire” means—to pass through.

The other options relate to vessels or ship procedures, not the movement of goods in transit: clearing a vessel is a different form, an attendance request isn’t about transporting goods, and reporting inwards of vessels covers inbound ship arrivals.
