Anse la Raye is a small, picture-perfect fishing village on the west coast, about halfway along the road from Castries down to Soufrière. Brightly painted cottages line the bay, fishing nets dry along the shore, and on Friday evenings the main street closes to traffic for the village Seafood Fry, where grilled fish, lobster and music draw people from across the island. It's an authentic, close-knit community where most families have deep roots and relatives abroad, which makes it firmly barrel and returning-nationals country.

Goods for Anse la Raye clear at Port Castries, a short run up the west coast. A broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World, and ordinary barrels and shipments may attract import duty, a customs service charge and VAT at 12.5%. Returning nationals coming home to live bring household and personal effects in free of customs duty, enough to furnish a home, plus one vehicle free of duty up to a set value. St Lucia has also tended to grant a Christmas barrel concession each year. Your vetted partner and the broker handle the paperwork.
