Every resident from the United States who would travel to the Virgin Islands is allowed to take home goods that will amount to worth $1600 – all these are goods from Duty Free.

As you return to the US, you will fill out a form for separate customs for all the items you bought. Keep a hold of your receipt to have a reliable record of the items you purchased. This allowance is double compared to just the $800 from the rest of the islands.

What’s more is that you are even allowed to take 5 cartons of cigarettes and even 5 liters of liquor. This is for as long as you bought a bottle which was made from the Virgin Islands like the Cruzan Rum.

This is truly one wonderful way of not just hanging around in the beaches of St. Thomas but also enjoy most of your time shopping in breeze!

You can surely find all the best buys in this store from books, guides, clothing, china, watches, cameras, crafts, island goods and many more. What is good news is that there are no inclusion of custom duties or what they call as the luxury taxes.
