🔍 Key Concepts

• U.S. customs entry requirements for vessels arriving from foreign ports • Difference between preliminary entry and formal entry under customs law • How Sundays and holidays excepted affects counting the time limit

💭 Think About

• Think about why customs needs a deadline for formal entry and whether it would be a short or longer administrative window after arrival. • Consider how long it reasonably takes a ship and agent to gather paperwork and present it to Customs after a foreign voyage. • Ask yourself whether the phrase "without exception" in one option fits with the parenthetical note about Sundays and holidays being excepted.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which time limit is specified in U.S. customs regulations for vessel formal entry after preliminary entry is made. • Check that the chosen option is consistent with the idea that Sundays and holidays are not counted toward the deadline. • Make sure the option you select does NOT contradict the phrase given in the question: "Sundays and holidays excepted".
