What are the duty free allowances I can bring back home with me?
Before traveling to St. Martin/ St. Maarten, please check with your customs office and airline for the latest information of what you can bring home with you. Remember, the requirements do and have recently changed for what you may bring on a flight, both in carry on and checked luggage. Some of the products that St. Martin offers, which are commonly purchased as souvenirs and gifts are: Herbs and Spices Shells Fruit Flavored Rums Many countries do not allow the personal import of either shells or food items, so it is best to know your customs regulations. In many countries the Fruit Flavored Rums that are for sale here are not included within the alcohol allowance on your return as they are considered “Artisan”. This is because the rum itself is not made on our Island but imported and flavored prior to re-sale. These are very popular gifts, again please check with your customs officials for the applicable allowances.
