According to Cabinet Secretary Dr. Marcus Natta, the concessions will take effect from December 1st, 2025, to January 31st, 2026, providing residents with greater purchasing power and savings ahead of the Christmas holidays.
Under the Christmas Duty-Free Concessions, the following allowances will apply:
- Gift packages containing food items will be exempt from duties and taxes on the first 400 pounds.
- Non-commercial imports will enjoy a duty-free allowance of EC$675 (US$250) off the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value.

“These measures are designed to bring added relief to families and individuals during the festive season, supporting a more affordable and enjoyable Christmas for all,” he stated.
