The Government of Dominica has approved the granting of concessions on Christmas barrels imported into Dominica for the period December 9, 2024 to January 10, 2025.
A ‘barrel’ refers to non-commercial packages received in receptacles such as barrels, boxes, crates, packages and drums; and containing items for personal use only and not for commercial use. Eligible items shall be foodstuff with limited items of clothing, toiletries and toys.
Barrels valued up to EC$1,500.00, will be exempt from Import Duty, Environmental Levy and Customs Service Charge and each household in Dominica is entitled to a maximum of two (2) barrels.
A flat port charge of Ten Eastern Caribbean Dollars (EC$10.00) will be payable to the Dominica Air and Seaports Authority (DASPA) for charges related to handling and storing of the barrels, and the Value Added Tax (Vat) of 15 percent of the import value will be payable to the Comptroller of Customs.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
