Your vessel is in Charleston, S.C. Which situation does NOT require you to clear Customs?

🔍 Key Concepts

• U.S. Customs clearance requirements when DEPARTING a U.S. port • Difference between domestic coastwise voyage and foreign voyage • Whether loading or discharging cargo changes the need to clear Customs

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is Customs clearance tied more to WHERE the vessel is going, or to WHERE the cargo comes from? • Consider: Does remaining entirely between U.S. ports change the requirement to clear Customs compared to sailing to a foreign port? • Think about whether simply not loading or not discharging cargo in a particular U.S. port automatically removes the need to clear Customs.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices involve a foreign destination versus a U.S. destination • Notice which option is a purely domestic voyage between U.S. ports • Verify whether origin of cargo (U.S. vs foreign) or destination of the voyage (domestic vs foreign) is the key factor for Customs clearance
