Which form is the Application for Release of Perishable Goods or Other Goods Prior to Payment of Duty?

• A. C.19 - Application for Release of Perishable Goods or Other Goods Prior to Payment of Duty
• B. C.2 - Report Inwards of Vessels
• C. Maritime Health Declaration
• D. C.1 - Attendance Request

Answer: (A)

This question tests your ability to match a form to its intended purpose. The form that exactly describes an application for releasing perishable goods (or other goods) before payment of duty is the one designed for urgent clearance when delay could cause spoilage. That title makes its purpose clear: to request release prior to duty payment for perishables. The other forms serve different functions—one relates to reporting inward arrivals of vessels, another to a Maritime Health Declaration, and another to requesting attendance by a customs officer. So the form whose title specifies release of perishable goods before payment of duty is the correct choice because it directly matches the described scenario.
