Customs will continue to accept invoices submitted electronically and viewed on personal devices.

Tuesday June 29th, The Anguilla Customs Department published a note via its Facebook Page informing the public that as of July 1st, 2021 “the submission of electronic invoices displayed on your personal cellphone for clearance of goods, will not be accepted.”

We have made the decision to retract the previously issued requirements in the interim while we continue to make the necessary changes internally to mitigate the risks which prompted the position taken. We will continue to accept invoices submitted electronically and viewed on personal devices.
