I will be traveling to Tortola at the end of July and I will be taking both my video and still rigs with me. I was told by a friend who shoots professionally that I need to have either customs papers for my gear or Carne (not sure of the spelling) documentation. I was looking at the US customs website and they said that I would not need it for items over 6 months old, which will be what I am taking. I need to get this stuff taken care of sooner rather than later. Has anybody delt with this? Any body travel to the BVI's and have had to do this?
Cheers
anybody?
That's the first I hear of that... granted I only have still rigs and most of the time I chec in at west end or Jost when I go to BVI. But even if you flew in to Beef or checked in in Roadtown I would find it really odd... How are you getting there? Are you going to St. Thomas and then taking puddle jumper or the ferry? Tortola customs is really laid back and I would be super surprised if you would have to go through and hassle just for bringing some shooting gear... I really doubt it.
