Question 2863Deck General70% to pass
A vessel has arrived in a U.S. port from a foreign voyage. Preliminary entry has been made. Formal entry at the U.S. Custom House must be made within how many hours after arrival (Sundays and holidays excepted)?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 48 hours.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection regulations, a vessel arriving from a foreign port must make formal entry at the U.S. Custom House within 48 hours after arrival, excluding Sundays and holidays. This requirement is stated in 19 CFR 4.3(a), which specifies that formal entry must be made within 48 hours of the vessel's arrival.
The other options are incorrect because 12 hours is too short, 24 hours is also too short, and 72 hours without exception is not the correct timeframe according to the regulations.
