Has anyone taken their boat to the BVI in the last six months or so?
While checking on customs fees for our upcoming cruise to the eastern
caribbean I checked the BVI Tourist Board web site I found the following:
Cruising Permit $4 per person per day
Ban on importation of meat products unless you apply for a Department of
Agriculture permit. Cost $25
Import duties on food products of between 5% and 15%. You must have
reciepts for the food purchase.
"Don't even bother to bring alcoholic beverages"
If this is the case, I guess we'll cross the BVI off of our list of
destinations.
