I lived in the Cayman islands for a year and the customs would not release any packages if an invoice was not supplied with it. The shipping company would add an addition fee if they have to chase you up for the invoice. You had to email invoice to shipping company for them to supply to Cayman customs.greggle71 wrote:I was told by my skybox company that the issue is packages with no invoice in it.

FOOD SECURITY now has legislative backing through amendments to existing law, which will make it easier to import seeds for local production securing TT's ability to feed itself amidst covid19.
Last Sunday, Nirmala Debysingh-Persad, CEO of National Agricultural Marketing and Development Corporation (Namdevco) said the country can sustain itself if covid19 restrictions tighten and food exporting countries shut their doors.
In response to questions last week, Minister of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries, Clarence Rambharat, agreed that TT is food secure, but that is predicated on external factors which he hopes will not adversely affect TT.
“In relation to the question of food security and our ability to feed ourselves – we should be mindful that even with local manufacturing of food and local growing of fresh fruit, vegetables and ground provision – there is reliance on imported seeds, fertilisers, insecticides and herbicides as well as raw material for manufacturers and packaging material. Our food supply is, therefore, constrained by global prices, availability of supplies, reliability of shipping, weather conditions here and abroad and most importantly – availability of Forex.”
President of the Trinidad Unified Farmers Association Shiraz Khan told Newsday last week that uncertainties over imports of products to make feed, limited access to water for irrigation and domestic use, and the harsh weather patterns in the dry season have all come together to put dairy farming in TT and agriculture on the whole, at risk.
Khan, a livestock and dairy farmer by trade, called for immediate investment in food production, and said his trade, dairy farming and livestock farming, could end up in an even worse position because of the economic crisis stemming from covid19 than it is in now, after decades of mistreatment.
That investment, Rambharat said, came in the form of legislation that gave him the power to waive import permits on food items. A special committee was set up to treat with food security chaired by Rambharat, Trade Minister Paula Gopee-Scoon and Works and Transport Minister Rohan Sinanan. Coming out of that committee was the suggestion to amend Section 3 of the Plant Protection Act of 1975.
“Even after it was agreed globally that processed agriculture products should not require import permits, TT had left in place 1975 measures to require import permits on all agricultural produce. This caused bureaucratic delays, increased costs, inefficiencies, delays, disruptions, inequalities, excessive plant quarantine overtime costs, corruption, and low productivity. A measure was included in the Miscellaneous Bill approved by the House of Representatives last Wednesday, to allow the Minister of Agriculture, Land and Agriculture to exempt by order, any item from the import permit requirement set out in the Plant Protection Act.”
Section 3 of the Act states no person shall import into TT any fruits, planting material, plant pest, pathogens, plant products, soil, vegetables or any other prescribed articles (hereinafter referred to as “restricted articles”) unless he first obtains a permit. Failure to adhere to that will result in a $5,000 fine or two year jail term for the first time offender and $10,000 or two years in jail or the repeat offender.

Once I got an item on sale for half the price and I supplied paid invoice. Customs then went on line and found item and they charged duties on the full cost and not the sale price.
