🌟 Important Update on Personal Import Regulations 🌟

We want to keep you informed about recent changes in import regulations. The value threshold for private or personal imports has now been reduced from FJD $2,000 to FJD $1,000.

Previously, items imported for personal use under this threshold were exempt from VAT; however, they are now subject to a 15% Import VAT. For those items exceeding the new threshold of FJD $1,000, normal customs duty rates will apply along with VAT.

We’re pleased to share that certain personal items will remain VAT-free upon import to align with zero-rated domestic goods.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. 😊
