ARRIVAL IN BERMUDA


Upon entering Bermuda, the salesperson is required to declare all product goods or samples to the Customs officials at the airport, along with a full invoice detailing those products. It is crucial for the salesperson to possess their approved Salesperson's permit during this process. The salesperson is responsible for clearing their own goods. A deposit must be made, which includes the customs duty calculated on the value of the products, plus an additional 50% of that total. Depending on the nature of the goods, they may either be sealed for transport to H.M. Customs Office in Hamilton City, where, after obtaining the necessary Immigration permission, the goods will be inspected and released to the salesperson, OR the Customs officials may take the goods to H.M. Customs in Hamilton City themselves. The salesperson can only collect the products after securing and presenting the required Immigration permission.


DEPARTURE FROM BERMUDA


Before departure, the salesperson must again take their goods to H.M. Customs in Hamilton for clearance and deposit refund.
