Dear Valued TRINIDAD & TOBAGO Customers,

As you may be aware our country’s current State of Emergency has necessitated increased security procedures, the most recent being T&T’s Customs & Excise Division instituting “100% inspection of ALL packages”.

Customs & Excise commenced with this on Wednesday of this week and it has understandably significantly lengthened the Customs clearance process.

This unfortunately delays our receipt of your packages to then deliver to you and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused while this remains in effect.

noticed this too.....they've actually charged me accurately for all the items I brought down unfortunately...used to get away sometimes with them duties

[sharkman121]

on everything coming into the country now

Impossible.

Agreed!! as a port worker myself this is impossible. Even if they begin to do this, theres no way there can be a thorough inspection.

[sharkman121]

skybox items are small fries compared to the volume of goods that comes into the country..but a mere minor percentage.

^ Customs will actually be required to perform the duties that they were hired initially to execute! I have no problem with this newly (imagine that!!!) implemented procedure, however as one person stated, I am of the view that this will not last long. This is similar to trying to stop a dog from sucking egg when he has been doing it for years!

[*$kїđž!™]

checking every item is impossible..they could try as they would be instucted too...but highly impossible to check every item....they would just make ppl wait longer cause ppl expecting too...

clearing goods is a beyotch.....

[Xplode]

let them get the container x ray machine,all major ports have them.cause is the containers were the illegal stuff cumming into the country.

[S_2NR]

[STORM1234]

correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't customs have a 100% inspection policy for incoming packages anyway?

[S_2NR]

not in trinidad.
50% is the norm.
10% on holidays and weekends.
and 0% with bribe money.

incoming packages is not a problem...containers are

[pugboy]

that would be a 200% increase in their workload,
not many people in this world will do that for long......
however they may just delay for delaying sake

Ordered some parts two weeks ago...my tracking code says its in country since Monday...cant get it yet...skybox company saying the same thing....lots of delays.....
