In the scenario where a vessel arrives with cargo for Exuma and Inagua, which form and number is used to send the Exuma cargo on to Inagua?

• A. C.38 - Transire
• B. C.41
• C. C.49
• D. CB.7

Answer: (A)

Intra-island cargo movement within the Bahamas is handled with a Transire document. When a vessel arrives with goods destined for more than one island, the portion headed for the next destination can be forwarded using the Transire form. The C.38 - Transire specifically authorizes transferring the Exuma cargo onward to Inagua, so those goods can be landed and cleared in Inagua rather than at Exuma. This keeps the movement efficient and under customs control as the cargo continues to its final destination. The other forms shown relate to different procedures and do not serve the function of forwarding cargo between Bahamian ports.
