The Government of Dominica announces the annual concession on Christmas barrels, which will apply to barrels imported into Dominica from December 8, 2025 to January 9, 2026.
A “barrel” refers to non-commercial shipments received in barrels, boxes, crates, packages, or drums. These must contain personal-use items only and not goods intended for resale. Eligible contents include food items, with limited quantities of clothing, toiletries, and toys.
Barrels with a value up to EC$1,500.00 will qualify for full exemption from Import Duty and Customs Service Charge. Each household in Dominica is allowed to import up to two (2) barrels under this concession.
A flat Dominica Air and Sea Port Authority (DASPA) charge of EC$10.00 will apply for the handling and storage of each barrel. In addition, a 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) will be calculated on the import value and 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.
