Article 10, Paragraph 6.2

The use of Customs Brokers is not mandatory in Saint Lucia, as Customs Officers generally providers assistance to traders in completing simplified declaration for importation and exportation of small quantities of non-commercial goods. However, as the transactions become more complex and involved, the use of a Custom Broker or someone who is familiar with the trading platform, ASYCUDA World, becomes necessary.
