travel

Help us preserve our natural resources and keep the Virgin Islands beautiful.

The VI Code prohibits the taking, catching, possessing, transporting or exporting of indigenous species. This prohibition also includes the removal of coral, sea shells, sand , and other native species, flora and fauna. Commercially caught legal size conch and whelk are the only shells that can be removed from the territory. Some of the items may also be considered prohibited based on TSA security protocol.

You can travel to the Virgin Islands with your liquids, gels, and aerosols if they are in a 3 once container, placed in a 1-quart-sizp zip-top bag or a clear plastic of your choosing. If you can pour it, pump it, squeeze it, spread it, smear it, spray it, or spill it, it is subject to these limits.

This rule also applies to tamarind and cherry stews because they are considered liquids and gels. Necessary liquids such as breast milk, baby formula, and insulin are permitted, but must be declared to a TSA officer at the checkpoint before sliding your bags through the x-ray scanner.

This is just a general guide. Some items, you may not need. But, simply going through this list will help not forget important items.
