Airports
Fiji has two international
airports - Nadi, the principal gateway and Nausori,
near Suva.
Customs At International Airports
Fiji Customs operates a Dual
Channel System - the Red and Green Channels -
for expeditious clearance of air travellers.
- 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.
Departure Tax
Visitors to Fiji are required
to pay $20.00 departure tax in Fijian currency
following check-in. Children under 12 are exempt.
