SPECTACLES – CUSTOMS DUTIES
The Health and Social Welfare Directorate wishes to amend their previous announcement about customs duty on spectacles. The Collector of Customs has agreed a one-off concession to waive customs duty on the most recent consignment of spectacles. Anyone who has been charged duty on their purchase may apply to the Health Directorate for a refund of duty. The public is advised that spectacles are a private purchase and future orders will be subject to customs duty at the appropriate rate.
