Downtown Charlotte Amalie

The winners of our recent 'Girlfriends' sweepstakes found great bargains during their shopping spree in historic Charlotte Amalie.
Caribbean Duty Free Shopping: The USVI raised its duty-free allowance to $1,600 per person. Family members traveling together can make a joint declaration that increases the amount of their allowance. Gifts valued $100 or less can be mailed (no more than one package per day) & do not need to be declared in the exemption. US visitors are allowed to return with six bottles of liquor if one of the bottles was produced locally. Duty of 6% is charged for purchases totaling more than $1,600.
Shopping is one of the best reasons to 'take a break' from the beach and explore the local shops in our charming Caribbean towns.
