My Experience with Bermuda Customs.

Tuesday, May 13, 2008 10:26 PM | Leave a reply »

Before starting to this fantastic Island, I have read a lot of forum, blogs and also personal experiences.

Anything was really true. I have prepared a long detailed list in excel format, with all my things inside, also Clothes, Electrical tools, Documents and more ...

I have also prepared my suitcases separating every one thing in a Plastic bag, I have divided the suitcases by things typologies (Clothes, Health ...) but when I was in the Customs ...

First - don`t be aware about Customs, they are friendly, sunniest, and in special case they are very very kind and compressively.

Second - actually in Bermuda the law about import has changed a little bit. I haven`t paid anything duties. Yes now when you come in the Island as a worker, the first time you don`t pay duties so please don`t be aware.

Finally I want to please all stupid people that write fantastic evil stories about Customs to STOP. Bermuda is a fantastic friendly place, people are very kind and also Police and Immigration employees are very compressively with stranger.
I finally can say that I haven`t had problem in the Airport and I am very happy to finally be in a place where stranger are good accepted more than in other European Countries.  

I remember to you for any kind of question go directly to Bermuda Customs web site (search in my old posts), and ask everything you are in doubt.

Have a nice experience to like mine!!

    Raf,<br /><br />As I mentioned on my mail to you through the forum I plan to take with me my laptop, my camera and a few other electrical items. According to what you say there is not much to worry about taking these items with you. I seem to remember though that I have read somewhere that the duty charges are quite heavy on such items - is that not true?<br /><br />How about immigration procedure once you arrive, does that take long? Again I have read somewhere that it is quite a long procedure, how true is this?<br /><br />Rgds,<br />Kath<br />kmb22

    It's depend. If you are lucky you can stay in the Customs for no more than 1 hour, if you are not, maybe more time.<br />Usually, are you lucky?<br />:-)
