Question 64 ONC03 - Master LT 500-1600 GRT

The Correct Answer is B. **Why option B ("Items must be noted in the Traveling Crews Effects Declaration") is correct:** The scenario describes uncleared crew curios (items brought back by crew members) remaining on board a vessel that has returned from a foreign voyage and is now engaged in a domestic coastwise voyage. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations (specifically 19 CFR 4.7b), if a vessel is moving between U.S. ports, these uncleared items must be documented. The standard procedure for managing personal effects, including curios, that are subject to duty or restriction while moving domestically is to note them in the **Traveling Crews Effects Declaration** (CBP Form 1300), ensuring they remain identifiable to CBP enforcement until they are formally cleared or exported. This form serves as the required control document for uncleared effects during domestic movements. **Why the other options are incorrect:** * **A) Items must be cleared prior to the next foreign voyage:** While clearance is required eventually, this option addresses the requirement for the *next* foreign voyage, not the immediate requirement for handling uncleared items while the vessel is engaged in a *domestic coastwise* voyage. The required action during the domestic movement is documentation (noted in the Traveling Crews Effects Declaration), which is the regulatory focus for control between U.S. ports. * **C) Items must be listed in the Official Logbook and signed by crewmember:** While ship's logs are used for many operational records, the specific regulatory document mandated by CBP for controlling uncleared, dutiable, or restricted personal effects during coastwise movement is the Traveling Crews Effects Declaration (CBP Form 1300), not the general Official Logbook. * **D) Items must be retained under locked security by the owner:** While securing uncleared items is a good practice, the specific, mandatory regulatory action for maintaining control and accountability during coastwise movement, as defined by CBP, is the documentation requirement using the specific CBP form (Traveling Crews Effects Declaration), not merely securing them under lock.
