The Bermuda Post Office has advised the public to bring an invoice when collecting goods through the post office.

As the BPO acts as an agent for HM Customs, anyone who has received a notification from the post office indicating “value required” must produce the actual invoice when collecting a package so the required duty can be paid.

If an invoice is unavailable, a vendor or manufacturer-estimated retail value for the item or similar product must be provided. This can be obtained from the internet and presented in lieu of the actual invoice.

Duty is not required for gifts valued at under $30 when sent from overseas.
