Prohibited and restricted items

Grenadian customs information identifies narcotics, weapons/ammunition and certain fruit/vegetables as prohibited or restricted. Licensed firearms must also be declared. Conditions depend on the item, whether taken off the vessel and whether imported. Passenger baggage rules are not yacht stores allowances.

Arrival formalities

Fly Q on arrival and remain aboard until customs, immigration and health formalities are complete. The Yachting Act requires the master to report to the responsible officer. Tourism guidance calls for separate health, immigration and customs procedures at designated points. The two-hour reporting requirement comes from the Act; confirm out-of-hours arrangements separately.
