🔍 Key Concepts

• U.S. Customs entry procedures for vessels arriving from foreign ports • The purpose of a cargo manifest, stores list, and crew list • Which documents relate to revenue, security, and immigration concerns

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these documents would Customs be interested in for controlling dutiable goods and preventing smuggling? • Consider whether Customs’ role is limited to cargo only, or if it also involves people on board and ship’s supplies. • Think about real-world boardings: Does Customs usually check just one document, or several different kinds of lists?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which of these documents is required for cargo control and duty assessment. • Verify which document shows who is on board for immigration/security purposes. • Verify whether the stores list (ship’s supplies such as alcohol, tobacco, etc.) is also of interest to Customs for duty and smuggling control.
