Personal goods imported by Courier
A DIMINIMIS System was implemented on goods imported through a courier agency from August 2014. The system allowed goods with a total cost, insurance and freight (CIF) value not exceeding EC$150.00 which are not alcoholic beverages, tobacco products or commercial goods, to be exempt from the payment of all customs duties and other taxes.
Depending of the operation of the courier agency, the goods can be cleared by them (courier agent) on behalf of the importer, or the clearance process can be done by the importer themselves at the courier facility.
