The government of St. Kitts has officially declared the commencement of the annual Christmas Concession period, set to begin on December 1, 2025. This initiative, announced in a post-Cabinet statement, aims to provide financial relief to families and individuals during the holiday season. Non-commercial importers and travelers will benefit from specific allowances designed to ease the cost of festive preparations. Notably, gift packages containing food items will be exempt from duties and taxes for the first 400 pounds. Additionally, non-commercial imports will receive a duty-free allowance of EC$675 (approximately US$250) off the CIF value. These concessions will be applicable to goods arriving in the Federation between December 1, 2025, and January 31, 2026. The government emphasized that these measures are intended to make Christmas more affordable and enjoyable for all citizens. Further details will be released as they become available.
