Customs for parcel shipping to Saint Lucia

The Customs process in Saint Lucia is fairly well established, although it can be a bit slow at times.  The best way to make sure your parcels get through the process without much hold up is to make sure you have all the appropriate paperwork filled out and is in order before you ship there.  You should be aware that they do sometimes assess duties (or taxes) upon items being shipped there, especially if it has a declared value over a certain point.  To get an estimate on this, you can ask your shipping company in advance for their estimate so that you can be prepared to pay this promptly to avoid any long delays as your parcel will not be released for final delivery until this is taken care of, if applicable.
