Importers of unclaimed goods left for more than two months at Her Majesty’s Customs and the BVI Ports Authority are advised that these items must be cleared by Friday April 10 to avoid having them sold at public auction.

All manual procedures to clear goods at her Majesty’s Customs will now be computerised, as the department moves towards full automation of its Cargo Declaration system with the introduction of its Web Trader Programme.

Her Majesty’s Customs is informing all couriers that the new clearance procedure deadline has been extended to Tuesday, March 31.
