Question 2789Deck General70% to pass
Your vessel is in Charleston, S.C. You need not clear Customs if _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) all the cargo on board is of U.S. origin and destined for New York.
The reasoning is that under U.S. Customs regulations, a vessel is not required to clear Customs if it is carrying only domestic cargo (of U.S. origin) and is bound for another U.S. port. Since the vessel in this scenario is carrying only U.S. cargo and is destined for New York, which is another U.S. port, it does not need to clear Customs in Charleston.
The other options are incorrect because they involve the vessel either carrying foreign cargo (A), discharging cargo (D), or going to a foreign port (C), all of which would require the vessel to clear Customs before departing Charleston.
