Its just easier... Duty Free Shopping
 

Duty Free Shopping
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.

It's just easier... to go shopping in the US Virgin Islands

Shopping is one of the best reasons to 'take a break' from the beach and explore the local shops in our charming Caribbean towns.

St. Thomas has some of the most famous 'duty free' shopping in the world both 'Downtown' in historic Charlotte Amalie and at the

'Havensight Cruise Ship Pier' - with many 'branch locations' at major resorts.

Described as 'The best shopping port in the world' - experienced shoppers will find prices that are often 40% less expensive than the same items on the US mainland or Puerto Rico. Look for the 'Tommy Starfish' preferred retailer logo that identifies stores as members of the US Virgin Islands Hotel & Tourism Association!

Shopping in Downtown Charlotte Amalie is a special treat as you discover the charming streets (called Gades), alleys and passages that run through the historic warehouse district that used to store exotic spices, rum and molasses. Today, they feature some of the most famous boutiques in the world along with art galleries, bargain liquor, jewelry, watches and local Caribbean arts & crafts.

St. John has quaint shops in Cruz Bay and at many resorts.

On St. Croix - you'll want to visit Christiansted explore shops along the King's Alley Boardwalk and surrounding lanes. In Frederiksted shop along Strand Street after visiting historic Fort Frederik.

Many of the larger hotels and resorts offer a 'shopping shuttle' or can arrange a taxi or car rental for you day of shopping.
