Customs and Excise Department (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines)

Applies the rule

Publishes passenger baggage allowances and the currency declaration threshold, the returning national concession in full with its conditions and time limits, and the texts of about thirty customs and revenue statutes including the Customs (Control and Management) Act, the Customs Duties (Amendment) Act 2022 and the Common External Tariff Order 2022.

The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

Cannot be cited for

The returning national concession is described as a Cabinet decision and the department publishes no order or regulation behind it, so its conditions are the department's account rather than a citation. The baggage allowances are likewise stated without reference to a section of the Customs Duties Act. The department publishes nothing on the household effects of an arriving non-national, and its exemptions and fiscal incentives pages are empty of substance.
