The U.S. Virgin Islands is a U.S. territory in the Caribbean that operates under a unique trade framework, benefiting from duty-free access to the U.S. mainland market while also serving as a transshipment hub. Its trade activity is centered on St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John, with key imports including refined petroleum products, manufactured goods, and foodstuffs. Exporters and importers should note that USVI shipments are tracked separately from the 50 states in U.S. trade statistics.
Shipments between the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. mainland are treated as international trade in U.S. Census Bureau trade statistics, as the USVI is outside the U.S. Customs Territory.
The U.S. Virgin Islands primarily trades refined petroleum products, foodstuffs, manufactured goods, and construction materials, with petroleum refining historically being a significant economic driver on St. Croix.
The U.S. Virgin Islands has its own tariff schedule and is not part of the U.S. Customs Territory, so standard U.S. HTS duties do not automatically apply; goods entering the mainland from the USVI may qualify for duty preferences under specific provisions.
