Name the form and number used to clear a vessel outwards to Miami, Florida.

• A. C.36 - Certificate of Clearance of Vessel
• B. C.7 - Aircraft General Inwards Declaration
• C. C.13 - Home Consumption Entry
• D. C.41 - Request to Import Goods for a Temporary Use or Purpose

Answer: (A)

When a Bahamian-registered vessel is leaving for a foreign port, you need a document that confirms all customs and port formalities are complete and that the vessel is allowed to depart. The form used for this outward clearance is the Certificate of Clearance of Vessel, known as form C.36. It ensures the vessel has been properly documented, any duties or requirements have been satisfied, and that it’s cleared to sail to a port like Miami. The other forms are for different scenarios: an aircraft inward declaration covers inbound aircraft, not ships; a home consumption entry relates to goods brought into Bahamian consumption, not vessel departure; and a temporary import permit covers goods brought in briefly for use and then re-exported. So for outward clearance of a vessel, the Certificate of Clearance of Vessel (C.36) is the correct form.
