The Grenada government has implemented a “free barrel” programme until the end of the year, designed to help citizens affected by Hurricane Beryl.

It includes 100% duty and tax exemptions on non-perishable food, clothing, small household appliances, linen and bedding items, toiletries, sanitary products and household cleaning supplies imported into the State of Grenada in boxes, barrels and crates.

The Grenada of the Prime Minister says the items to be imported are not to be for commercial use or resale and are limited to two barrels per household.

The removal of duties and taxes will apply to barrels cleared on or after July 22, 2024, until December 31, 2024.
