Customs Services

Import and export procedure, duties and concessions.

The Customs and Excise Division administers the entry of goods into Dominica. Most consignments require a declaration, a commercial invoice and a bill of lading or airway bill, filed by a licensed broker.

Common matters we help with

Certifying documents required for a customs entry.

Confirming duty and value added tax treatment for a category of goods.

Concessions for returning nationals and for approved investment projects.

Temporary importation of equipment, including film and survey gear.

Personal effects shipped from Greece.

Before you ship

Check whether the goods need an import licence or a permit from another agency.

Value the consignment accurately; under-declaration causes seizure and penalties.

Appoint a broker in Dominica before the goods arrive, not after.
