• A. Form C14B
• B. Form C15
• C. Form C16
• D. Form C17

Answer: (A)

Selling bonded goods over the counter requires a specific vendor declaration form to record the sale and bond status. This form, identified as the declaration by vendor for over-the-counter sales of bonded goods, is designed to capture all the details of the transaction so the bond can be correctly reconciled and duties accounted for. It records what is sold, the quantity and value, who the purchaser is, and confirms that the goods are leaving bonded stock for retail sale rather than being exported or moved elsewhere. This creates a clear paper trail for customs, showing that bonded goods were released for retail sale and ensuring proper inventory control and duty compliance. The other forms exist for different bonded-goods procedures (such as transfers, re-exports, or other movements), so they aren’t appropriate for the simple vendor declaration of an over-the-counter sale.
