Most goods can be brought temporarily into Barbados, though they must be registered with Customs at the port of entry.   These must be covered by a bond and are usually for a period of three months.  Sometimes a bond must be posted to ensure the re-export of the goods.  No bonds are required for used professional apparatus, e.g., television and film equipment.  Detailed lists must, however, be provided to Customs.  For more information, please contact the Barbados Customs and Excise Department.
