Electrical Appliances - Customs Tax

8 years ago
Good Morning!

My husband and I are moving to St Lucia from the UK next week and we're organising for our household items to be shipped to our new home.

I've read that electrical items incur customs fees but I've also read that buying electrical items in St Lucia is very expensive! We had intended to ship our microwave, iron, hoover etc but are now unsure of what to do. Does anybody else have experience with this? Should we ship our items across or should we buy new things there?

Thanks,
Tasmyn
