Import Tariffs

Antigua and Barbuda are members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Only slightly more than half of the members appear to have implemented the CARICOM common external tariff (CET) whereby goods entering any member country from nonmember countries will be assessed with the same tariff rate. Consequently, a wide range of applied tariff rates continue to exist across member countries. 

Customs value is based on the c.i.f. (cost, insurance, freight) value of the goods at the time of import and includes all other foreign costs.  A Customs Service Tax (CST) of 10 percent is added to the import customs value. For most goods, an Antigua Barbuda Sales Tax (ABST) of 15 percent is levied on customs value plus the duty and the CST. Most goods can be brought temporarily into Antigua and Barbuda, though they must be registered with Customs at the port of entry. Sometimes a bond must be posted to ensure the re-export of the goods.
