Customs & Excise Saint Lucia

Every year Government usually grants concessions on barrels at Christmas. This year the concession stipulates a 100% waiver of import duty on personal items, food, clothing, toys and other household consumables, contained in barrels imported between 15th November, 2018 and 31st January, 2019. There will also be a waiver of VAT during that period. Please note that the service charge of 6% will still be applied.

Electronic items are explicitly excluded.

Only two barrels are allowed per household and are strictly for personal use and not for commercial use.
If goods are used for commercial purposes a fine will be imposed.

Customs would like to urge members of the public that when clearing your barrels you should have a form ID, plus have your entire required documents which include a bill of lading, which is your document of title and invoices or receipts.
After receiving your documents from the shipping company, proceed to the wharf. You will be issued with a pass by SLAPA to enter the wharf.
At the shed you will be interviewed by a Customs official with respect to your barrels. Your barrels will then be examined after which you will pay the applicable duties.
After duties are paid a gate pass will be issued and you can take your barrels home.

Workshop on trade in environmentally sensitive commodities ends
===========================================
In an effort to enhance knowledge about international laws on environmentally sensitive commodities in Grenada, the CARICOM Secretariat hosted a workshop for Customs Officers and Border Control Officials on November 11-13, 2014.

The main objective was to enhance Grenada’s capacity to implement multilateral environmental agreements, and to improve its management environment and natural resources.

Speaking at an opening ceremony for the workshop, Dr. Thérèse Yarde Project Coordinator, Caribbean Hub Capacity Building ACP-MEAs, CARICOM Secretariat, thanked funding partners the European Union and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for enabling the expansion and reach of CARICOM Customs related activities.

She said that the principal concern for Customs Officers and other regulators in the Caribbean was controlling the entry of dangerous or potentially dangerous goods from other parts of the world.

UNEP Programme Officer Mr. Mamadou Kane said it was a long standing partnership with CARICOM, the EU and UNEP. He said his organization looked forward to the fruitful outcome of the meeting and the enhancement of the capacity of Grenadian customs officials to support the implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs).

A Regional Customs Workshop under the project was held at the World Customs Organization Regional Training Centre in the Dominican Republic, in July 2012. Coming out of that workshop it was recommended that training sessions be held at the national level to widen its reach and impact. This workshop in Grenada was the second in a series of national workshops to be hosted on this issue. The first one was hosted in Saint Lucia in April 2013.
