🔍 Key Concepts

• Customs clearance procedures for vessels arriving from foreign ports • The difference between ship’s official records (like the Official Logbook) and cargo/manifests • How dutiable or uncleared items are controlled while a vessel continues on domestic/coastwise voyages

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: While the vessel is sailing ONLY between U.S. ports after a foreign arrival, how does Customs keep track of items that have NOT yet been cleared? • Consider which document or method is specifically designed for tracking items remaining on board, as opposed to tracking crew discipline, operations, or security measures. • Think about what U.S. Customs would want to see if they boarded during a coastwise leg and asked, “Where are the uncleared curios recorded?”

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers to a formal record specifically used for cargo/items remaining on board, not general ship records. • Eliminate any option that mainly deals with narrative entries about crew conduct or shipboard events rather than goods or stores. • Check which answer aligns with a document/title that explicitly suggests it is a manifest or inventory of items rather than a security practice or future requirement.
