Unclaimed goods to be auctioned/disposed April 7, 2018
The public auction will be held Saturday, April 7, 2018 at the BVI Ports Authority at 9:00 A.M.
The unclaimed goods may be cleared by importers who must present a bill of lading, invoice or any other relevant documentation. In addition, shipping fees or any other incidentals must be paid to the shipper of the goods before the Customs Department allows clearance.
Perishable goods listed will not be auctioned, but will be disposed of due to the duration of time at the ports.
The auction is in accordance with the Customs Management and Duties Act No. 6 of 2010 Section 52 (8) which states, “goods deposited in a Customs warehouse shall be removed from that warehouse within two months from the date of their deposit, and any goods not so removed may be sold.” The auction is sanctioned under Section 137 of the same legislation.
A copy of the list with all goods and importers’ names will be posted on bvi.gov.vg and local newspapers.
Public auctions by Government are also guided by the Public Finance Management Regulations, Statutory Instrument No. 17 of 2005, Section 255.
