We carried a soft sided cooler filled with cool packs and mostly meat last week into the BVI. On the C&I electronic form we admitted to bringing in meat. I am not sure if the customs person saw that or just asked about the heavy bag. In any case we were questioned nicely about it, opened the cooler and showed it contents. We ended up having to pay tax, but were allowed to bring the contents into the BVI. We enjoyed (amongst other things from the cooler) an excellent steak dinner at JVD. Worth the weight and tax IMHO.

The rest of our stores came from Moorings provisioning, the French deli, or Rudy’s on JVD (very good).
