Duty-Free Shopping in Grand Cayman
Shopping in Cayman is made even more brilliant with many of the shops being duty-free!
The duty-free shops on island make Grand Cayman an attractive shopping destination!
What is Duty-Free?
Duty-free refers to goods that can be exempt from import taxation and sold without sales or other taxes allowing for potential deep discounts from your home country.
How it Works
Cayman is famous for its tax free shopping including: jewellery, watches, luxury brands, gems, precious metals, cameras and more. You will find recommendations on where to purchase these items below, as well as where to locate the best gifts and other essentials. Although import duty is charged on most goods entering the country, certain luxury goods remain free of both import duty and sales tax. Such items can therefore work out considerably cheaper to purchase in Cayman than in North America or Europe.
Duty-Free Allowances
- US citizens may take home $800 worth per person of goods duty free. This allowance may be combined with other family members so that a family of four could take a total of $3200 worth of goods home.
- Local products such as rum cake, arts and crafts are also duty free and US citizens may take unlimited quantities of these home.
