A vessel arrives in San Francisco from a foreign voyage. When MUST the Master make formal entry at the custom house?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Within 48 hours after arrival, Sundays and holidays excepted.
The reasoning for this is based on the United States Code (19 U.S.C. 1434), which states that the master of a vessel arriving from a foreign port must make formal entry at the nearest customs house within 48 hours after the vessel's arrival, excluding Sundays and holidays. This requirement applies to vessels arriving in the United States, including San Francisco, from a foreign voyage.
The other options are incorrect because option A) is too short of a timeframe, option B) does not account for the exception of Sundays and holidays, and option C) is too restrictive by not allowing the full 48 hours.
