Don't forget the duty free shopping here! There are not customs duties on most merchandise, and there are no local luxury or sales taxes. U.S. citizens are allowed a duty-free shopping quota of $1,200.00. Additionally, an unlimited number of gift packages, worth $100 or less, may be mailed to family and friends. Citizens may also bring back up to five cartons of duty-free cigarettes and five fifths of US liquor duty-free. An extra fifth can be taken if it is an U.S. Virgin Islands product such as Cruzan Rum.

Shoppers can find kitchenware, crystal, jewelry, perfume, cosmetics, liquor, and cigarettes at prices up to 50% below what they would likely pay for the merchandise elsewhere. Of course it is fun to buy local art and crafts as well. St. Croix has several outlets in which to buy woodwork and other crafts by local artisans.

There are many shops throughout the island, particularly in Frederiksted and Christiansted. Frederiksted has many shops along the waterfront and in the streets and alleys around the town. The Market Place is also in Frederiksted. It - is still in use, with island grown produce and tropical herbs for sale.
