Babonneau sits in the green, hilly interior north-east of Castries, a large rural community that's long been one of St Lucia's farming heartlands, growing much of the produce that fills the island's markets.

That makes Babonneau firmly barrel and returning-nationals country, with goods coming home to family.

Goods for Babonneau clear at Port Castries, a short run from the inland hills. 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.
