If you’re on time, you’re late!

Give yourself plenty of departure time to check your baggage and go through customs at the airport. There is something unique to traveling within the U.S Virgin Islands, especially St. Thomas. Due to its geographic location in the Caribbean, there are many international travelers entering and leaving the United States Virgin Islands. It is a melting pot of cultures and languages and a gateway into the United States. Travelers headed to Puerto Rico and continental United States must be cleared by officers of U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Each traveling family must complete the CBP Declaration Form 6059B. Preparation and plenty of time is your best bet in helping the customs process run smooth.
