Grenada Import Duties & Taxes Explained

Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to

Grenada

.

Overview


Shipments to Grenada are subject to import duty (20% for general goods), 15% VAT, 6% Customs Service Charge, and 1-2% Environmental Levy on items above EC$100 (~$37 USD). These charges apply to the total CIF value (item cost plus shipping). Low-value shipments under the threshold may qualify for duty-free entry under current administrative rules.

Your Questions Answered

Q1.

How do I know if I'll have to pay import fees when importing a package to Grenada?

You'll likely pay import fees if your shipment to Grenada exceeds EC$100 (~$37 USD), as shipments below this threshold may qualify for duty-free personal entry. Grenada Customs calculates charges on the full landed cost including shipping, so even modest purchases can accumulate multiple fees like 15% VAT, 6% Customs Service Charge, and import duties.

Q2.

How is the 15% VAT calculated on my package arriving in Grenada?

VAT is charged on the total landed cost, which includes your item value, shipping, insurance, import duty, and other fees. This means your shipment will be taxed on the full CIF value plus any additional charges applied.

Q3.

Are there additional fees besides import duty and VAT for shipments to Grenada?

Yes, a 6% Customs Service Charge and a 1% to 2% Environmental Levy are typically applied to the CIF value. These fees are standard for nearly all imports entering Grenada.

Q4.

Who collects taxes and duties when my shipment arrives in Grenada?

The Grenada Customs & Excise Division collects all import charges upon arrival. Your carrier may also collect these fees on their behalf before releasing the package to you.

Q5.

Do carriers charge extra fees for handling customs clearance in Grenada?

Yes, carriers like DHL, FedEx, or UPS typically charge a handling or disbursement fee starting around EC$50–$100. This is separate from the government taxes and duties.

Q6.

How does shipping cost affect the taxes I pay on my Grenada shipment?

Grenada strictly uses the CIF method, meaning you pay taxes on both the item value and the shipping/insurance costs. Your shipment's total landed cost determines your final tax liability.
