Which form would you use to declare consumable stores on board aircraft?

• A. Form C5A Declaration of Consumable Stores on board Aircraft
• B. Form C5 Declaration of Consumable Stores on board the vessel
• C. Form C6 Declaration of dutiable goods
• D. Form C4 Vessel Passenger List

Answer: (A)

For declaring items that will be used or consumed on the aircraft, you use the aviation-specific form designed for that purpose. Form C5A, titled Declaration of Consumable Stores on board Aircraft, is exactly what is needed. It captures the types and quantities of consumable items on the aircraft and allows customs to review them for safety, regulatory, and potential duty considerations.

This form is distinct from the vessel form, which is used for ships, and from the general form for dutiable goods, which covers goods that may incur duties but isn’t tailored to aviation consumables. It’s also not the form used for listing passengers on ships. So for onboard aircraft consumables, Form C5A is the appropriate and correct choice.
