Free Shopping in St. Thomas
 Did
you know...
Shopping in St. Thomas is a sight-seeing tour in itself! Quaint
shops are tucked in historic buildings made of cut coral,
molasses mortar, and Danish bricks brought as ballast on the
trading ships of the 1700 and 1800s! Interesting shaded
courtyards in these restored buildings house shopping arcades.
Exploring is fun - there is treasure at every turn!
Duty-Free
Allowance
Each U.S. resident,
including children, can take home $1600 worth of duty free goods
bought in the US Virgin Islands. When returning to the US 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 litres of liquor back as long as one
of the bottles is a product
made in the Virgin Islands such as Cruzan Rum.
