All packages for yachts are duty free. Our broker charges a clearance fee per consignment not per package so it is best to consolidate all your packages and have them sent down in one consignment with one Airway Bill Number.

Customs in Antigua are extremely strict and monitor EVERYTHING that comes onto the island. If packages are labeled clearly ‘Documents with no commercial value’ they should not be detained in customs. If they are yacht spares, they will be detained. These packages will incur the brokerage fee but NO duties.

We can expedite the clearance of packages that are detained in customs and if the paperwork is completed, they can meet the plane and clear the shipment same day. Shipments sent by sea to the Sea port take 3 days to clear if all goes well.

We don’t have a list or overview of provisions, as things on island change from day to day. We have a team of provisioners who source from all over the island and pick out the choice items only. We don’t import in from overseas but our local suppliers will bring in if we give them enough lead time. Our suppliers supply the 5 star hotels on the island and have been working with JYS for the last 17 years so are pretty knowledgeable of what the yachts need and the quality.

If you do decide to get a shipment from overseas using your normal supplier then we can do the clearance and delivery at this end. If you want to send through a wish list, we will see what we can get and advise.

We look forward to welcoming you to Antigua. All yacht pre-clearances are submitted online using www.eseaclear.com.

Customs would prefer your pre clearance to be submitted 24 hours before arrival but if you can’t get that done, there are computers at customs to facilitate your clearance or JYS can clear your yacht in for you.
