more of their vacation under the water will find the clear Caribbean Sea,
tropical fish and beautiful coral make this island a great destination for
diving. Over 30 dive sites surround it and offer everything from wrecks to
reefs to underwater tunnels. Many certified dive shops can take divers to the
best areas, but also provide training to those who might never have tried SCUBA
diving before but want to learn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

but you may decide on perfume or something else. The USVI raised its duty-free
allowance to $1,600 per person. Family members traveling together can make a
joint declaration that increases the amount of their allowance. Gifts valued
$100 or less can be mailed (no more than one package per day); do not
need to be declared in the exemption. US visitors are allowed to return with
six bottles of liquor if one of the bottles was produced locally. Duty of 6% is
charged for purchases totaling more than $1,600. I buy, then I sell it for a
profit. Obviously that pays for my cruise, but it gives me a profit as well!
