Visitors to Trinidad have a limit of 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, or 1/2 pound of tobacco. For alcohol, 1.5 liters of wine is the limit. Electronics, including cell phones, MP3 players, computers and other items are prohibited unless they are declared upon entrance and will be taken with the visitor out of the country upon their departure. Drugs for personal use must be clearly labeled. Anyone attempting to bring live animals must contact the Veterinary Division of the Ministry of Agriculture at least 24 hours prior to arrival; the animals will be examined and may be quarantined.
Trinidad has a number of items restricted from being exported. These include weapons, meat and milk products, drugs, live animals and intellectual property. Please note that many items not specifically restricted for export are restricted for import by many countries, such as fruits and vegetables.
There are a number of health-related customs concerns for Trinidad. Visitors over 1 year of age arriving from a yellow fever-infected area must provide a certificate of vaccination. Rabies and hepatitis A are both present. Visitors are advised to protect themselves from insect-borne hepatitis transmission with insect repellent and, in the case of rabies, may wish to receive a rabies vaccination prior to arrival if they are at high risk.
