Which CBP form is used when detained property is being returned?

• A. CBP 6051D
• B. I-641A
• C. CBP 6051R
• D. DHS-366A

Answer: (C)

When CBP detains property, there needs to be a formal record when that property is being returned. The form used for the release is CBP 6051R. It documents what is being released, who is receiving it (owner or designee), the case details, date, and the officer handling the release, creating a clear chain of custody. The detained property tag, CBP 6051D, is placed on items at detention to identify them but isn’t the release document. The other forms listed serve different purposes and aren’t used for returning detained property. So, when property is back in the hands of the owner, CBP 6051R is the proper form.
