Do the U.S. Virgin Islands use the Harmonized Tariff Schedule?
Yes, The U.S. Virgin Islands use the tariff, but our duty amount is different from what is stated in the schedule. To arrive at the applicable duty amount, our broker identifies the TEUSA number in the tariff schedule, but pays a different percentage than what is stated in the schedule. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, a maximum of 6% is paid on foreign made items. The British Virgin Islands does not use the harmonized tariff schedule and goods imported there normally pay a much higher duty amount.
