ACTIVITIES

duty-Free allowance

Each U.S. resident, including children, can take home $1,600 worth of duty-free goods bought in the U.S. Virgin Islands. When returning to the U.S. mainland you will be required to fill out a separate customs form for these items. You may be asked to show your receipts, so it is important to keep a good record of what you buy. This duty-free allowance is double the $800 limit from other islands. You may also take 5 cartons of cigarettes and 5 liters of liquor back as long as one of the bottles is a product made in the Virgin Islands.

downtown - charlotte amalie

This may be one of the most famous shopping districts in the Caribbean. Main Street, starting off at Post Office Square, is lined on both sides of the streets with retailers of every type, all offering duty free bargains. If you are driving, we suggest parking in the Fort Christian parking lot.

havensight shopping Mall

Right on the West Indian Company cruise ship dock, Havensight Shopping Mall is a convenient, less crowded way to go shopping for the duty-free purchases that you may be looking for. All of the major retailers have well-stocked stores with pretty much the same merchandise and prices as downtown. Look for the Havensight Merchants’ Association logo on the doors of the member merchants. Plenty of parking and taxis here!
