Know the rules
Customs & Excise has the duty to protect Grenada from the importation of drugs, firearms and other harmful goods and stop travelers from evading import duty. All persons entering the country are required by law to declare to Customs anything contained in their baggage, or carried with them, which has been obtained outside of Grenada.
Customs Declaration Form
Travellers are required to complete the online Immigration and Customs Form, which becomes available 72 hours before arrival. Once the form is completed, the Immigration and Customs receipts should be saved to the passenger’s mobile device or printed for presentation to Customs upon arrival.
Using the Online ED Form enhances the travel experience by providing an easy and convenient option that improves the efficiency with which passengers transit through the airport.
Passengers are asked to be honest when completing their declarations and to cooperate with Customs baggage officers. Providing incorrect information may result in delays and penalties.
