Noi one talks about purchases

[HappyLawyer]

when we do te 4 night cruise, i have been reading about customs and purchases, how do you track those, why do you need to, how will thay know and do they cap your spending

Just hang on to your receipts! We have never been asked to show them, but we use them on the last night to write our purchases on the customs form. I'm not sure of the limits because we are conservative shoppers and have never even come close to going over, but they can tell you onboard.

you aren't limited per se ... your allowed $800 per person and anything above that is charged duty (I think 10%) ... and immediate family members with the same last name can combine their purchases ... so a family of four can claim $3,200 and if they buy $3,500 of stuff they'll pay duty on $300 of it.

You only have to itemize your purchases on the customs form if you exceed your $800 per person.

In addition to the $$ limit..there are bottle limits for alcohol, while the tax is minimal we have never ran into a problem, and always went over the bottle limit. As we shop, we keep all of our receipts together so that wen they drop the form off the last night of the cruise it can easily be filled out. If you are over, debarkation morning you get up bright and early to meet with the customs officials..make sure you have set some cash aside to pay any taxes the asses, as cash is all that is accepted. We have never had to pay, because our overage was always so small.
