Question 3043Deck General70% to pass
A vessel arrives at the port of San Francisco from Yokohama, Japan. The passengers fill out the Baggage Declaration and Entry form. A passenger has baggage arriving on another vessel. How must this baggage be handled for U.S. Customs purposes?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) It must be declared on the same form and marked "Unaccompanied Baggage".
This is the correct answer because U.S. Customs regulations require that all baggage, whether accompanied or unaccompanied, must be declared on the same Baggage Declaration and Entry form. If the passenger has baggage arriving on a separate vessel, they must list it on the same form and mark it as "Unaccompanied Baggage".
The other options are incorrect because A) the baggage must still be declared, B) the name of the other vessel is not relevant, and C) there is no separate "Continuation Sheet" form required in this case.
