How many packs of cigarettes can you take into St. Thomas & St. John? Is there a limit?

Question

We are flying into St. Thomas, since you can't fly direct to St. John, and then we're taking a ferry over to St. John.

Answer 1

the US VI are the United States Virgin Islands and there is no customs coming here.....there is going back to the mainland but thats not your question.

Cigs are 18.99 a carton so buy 'em here and you can take 5 cartons back to the mainland duty free.

Answer 2

Buy in the USVI, the prices are cheap compared to the mainland. Under $20 a carton.

Here are the custom rules going back home to the mainland.

Duty Free Shopping

(applies to US residents returning to the US mainland)

$1,600 Exemption

If you return directly or indirectly from a U.S. insular possession (which includes the U.S. Virgin Islands), you are allowed a $1,600 duty-free exemption. You may include 1,000 cigarettes as part of this exemption, but at least 800 of them must have been acquired in an insular possession. Only 200 cigarettes may have been acquired elsewhere. For example, if you were touring the Caribbean and you stopped in Jamaica, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other ports of call, you could bring back five cartons of cigarettes, but four of them would have to have been bought in U.S. Virgin Islands.

Similarly, you may include five liters of alcoholic beverages in your duty-free exemption, but one of them must be a product of an insular possession. Four may be products of other countries. Duty free allowance on alcoholic beverages applies if you are 21 years old, it is for your own use or as a gift and it does not violate the laws of the state in which you arrive.

Answer 3

I think you can take as many as you want.  At least a carton but american smokes are only 20 bucks a carton down there

Answer 4

I think it is how ever many you can carry.  But you can buy them cheaper there then you can here in the US.  So I would not take but only a pack to hold you over until you get there.
