Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to
St. Barthelemy
.
Most goods forwarded by Stackry to St. Barthelemy are subject to a 5% Droit de Quai (Dock Dues) tax based on the item cost, insurance, and shipping. While there is no import VAT, motor vehicles face higher rates from 8% to 30%. You may also encounter carrier brokerage fees, typically $15 to $30, upon arrival in St. Barthelemy.
No, St. Barthelemy does not levy Value Added Tax (VAT) on imported goods since it is outside the EU VAT area.
The Droit de Quai is a local dock duty charged at 5% of the total value including shipping and insurance for most goods arriving in St. Barthelemy.
No, there is effectively no de minimis threshold, so almost all goods entering St. Barthelemy by air or sea are subject to the 5% duty regardless of value.
The 5% Droit de Quai is calculated on the CIF value, which includes the cost of your item plus insurance and shipping costs to the island.
The Collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy local customs and Droit de Quai Service collect these charges, often facilitated by your shipping carrier upon delivery.
