SHOPPING ON ST. JOHN, US VIRGIN ISLANDS . . .The US Virgin Islands are outside the US Customs Zone and can set their own tariffs resulting in 20% - 50% savings . Add that to the fact that there is no sales or luxury tax and that $1200 of your purchases are duty free and you will find that shopping on St. John is more than fun it is also very reasonable. [customs & duties]

You can shop your way around the island and rarely come across a repeated item. St. John's shops tend to be small and unique and although the majority of them are found in Cruz Bay the island is really scattered with them. The Skinny Legs complex in Coral Bay has five or more unique boutique shops and galleries, Shipwreck Landing houses four, there are several at the top of Bordeaux Mountain and some can even be found at the beaches along the North Shore Road. And don't forget the resorts: the Westin, the Caneel and Gallows Point all have some great shopping.

Remember that you may also mail home undeclared duty-free gifts to your family and friends [details] and that island made products are duty-free and although declarable they are not included in your exemption.
