The amount of duty one should pay on a barrel is not dependent on the size of the barrel but on the contents of the barrel. Customs Officers are guided by directives from the Ministry of Finance and Social Security. The Customs Import and Export Tariffs (Amendments) Act 15 of 2000 states that a flat rate of 30% shall be charged on goods of a non-commercial character, where the total value of the goods does not exceed EC $1,350.00. The flat rate shall be applicable only where the consignment consists of goods falling under at least three different tariffs headings.
