Arrival & Departure Information

Customs At International Airports

Fiji Customs operates a Dual Channel
System – the Red and Green Channels – for expeditious clearance
of air travelers.

• If
  you have any prohibited or restricted goods, or dutiable goods
  exceeding your duty/VAT free concessions, you should seek Customs
  Clearance at the Red Channel.
• If
  you do not have any prohibited, restricted or commercial goods,
  or dutiable goods exceeding your Duty/VAT concessions, you should
  proceed through the Green Channel.

Note: Your baggage may be examined
by Customs whether you take the Red or Green Channels. If this
occurs, you will be required to open and repack your baggage.

Dutiable Goods

Fiscal duty and VAT are levied on
all goods in excess of concessions. Fiscal duty rates vary depending
on the goods, whereas VAT is uniformly applied at 10%. VAT is
applied on a base which includes the value of the goods plus any
fiscal duty payable.

Visitors to Fiji are required to
pay $20.00 departure tax in Fijian currency following check-in.
Children under 12 are exempt.

  goods accompanying passengers (other than alcohol and tobacco
  products ) not exceeding $F400 in value
