We also wish to advise you that customs has notified express operators/ cargo reporters they will be strictly adhering to the requirement for an invoice to accompany every shipment with effect from 1st December 2020. Failure to do so will result in customs bonding the packages and you will have to clear them yourselves at the Swissport Facility. Please help us to serve you better by complying with the customs requirement.

I ship with WebSource. I heard from someone that if the invoice is not included/uploaded when the package reaches WebSource in Miami when it arrives in Trinidad you have to go Customs and clear it yourself.
Did anyone else hear this?
Local Customs - MUST PRE-ALERT
One key requirement by Customs is that
an accurate invoice must be presented with every package.
Without an invoice to verify your item's value, Customs can follow a legally defined process to assign an appropriate value or may require the customer to visit the Customs facility in Piarco in-person to proceed with clearance.
Please note that given the current appointment system, this can result in a lengthy wait and additional fees.

Does this mean that my courier company will know what I'm ordering?
Seems like invasion of privacy.

Tax Refunds on Freight Forward Exports from the United States
You can request a tax refund for purchases fulfilled by Amazon and delivered to a valid freight forwarding company.
To request a refund, use the following instructions:
Tax refunds can only be requested for shipments fulfilled by Amazon and delivered to a licensed customs broker or forwarding agent.
Supporting documentation must provide evidence your freight forwarded items shipped to a location outside of the United States.
What documentation is required?
Amazon requires copies of bill of lading or air way bills for items shipped by freight forwarder. Documents must display the location of delivery as evidence of their final destination. We do not accept Word documents, pictures of shipping labels, or mobile screenshots.
Where do I send my documentation?
Send scanned copies in PDF format along with the following information to tax-exempt@amazon.com:
Your order number (17 digits in this format: XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX).
If submitting a request for a tax refund on multiple orders, documentation will need to be provided for each order and clearly marked which order it pertains to.
Note: For orders placed with a seller that fulfills and ships its own inventory, you will need to contact the seller directly about your tax refund request by clicking on the name of the seller listed below the item you purchased in Your Account.

Any idea if it's a good idea to rush to buy a laptop now?
Or have they given any info what will happen in January?
I know they said up to Dec 31st "in the first instance"
You already missed Black Friday and Cyber Monday but some deals persist. New consumer electronics are launched in January at CES. Superseded models are cleared out in January also. Laptops with faster processors, better battery life, superior displays, more storage, and more RAM are already being rolled out.wtf wrote:Doesn't matter if you buy now or January.
All taxes on laptops, tablets and electronic data devices are removed.
Cellphones to follow in January.
If you buy now you may get a laptop on a deal but it will take a while to reach Trinidad because its that time off year.
If you buy January you may get it earlier but miss out on a deal.
My advice is to buy one now although you may have to wait a little longer.novastar1 wrote:wtf wrote:Didn't know Components are non taxable.
