Which form declares consumable stores on board the vessel?

• A. Form C7 Aircraft General Declaration
• B. Form C4 Vessel Passenger List
• C. Form C5 Declaration of Consumable Stores on board the vessel
• D. Form C2 Report Inwards of Vessel

Answer: (C)

Consumable stores on board are items that will be used up during the voyage, like provisions, fuel, and other expendables, so customs needs a specific declaration for them. The form that fits this purpose is the Declaration of Consumable Stores on board the vessel. It provides a structured way to list items and their quantities, allowing customs to verify what is on board and to determine any applicable duties, permits, or inspections.

The other forms serve different roles: an Aircraft General Declaration is for aircraft, a Vessel Passenger List records people on board, and a Report Inwards of Vessel is a general arrival/report document for the ship. None of those focus on declaring consumable stores on board, so they aren’t the correct choice here.
