ABS– The Customs and Excise Division has revealed an increase in revenue collection by over 9% for the first four months of 2025.


Comptroller of Customs, Raju Boodoo, reveals figures between January and April 2025 increased by 9.3% when compared to the same period in 2024.

Boodoo confirms the Division had collected more than EC$173.4 million dollars at the end of April 2025, surpassing the EC$158.6 million collected at the end of April 2024.


The Comptroller has also confirmed receipts as at May 20, 2025, had already eclipsed EC$200million.

Boodoo notes while the country is on track to surpass 2024 receipts, there is a need to watch how proposed increased U.S. tariffs will affect imports going forward.

  1. Increased revenue collection with the same old reckless control and spending amounts to nothing. We have never had problems with our revenue collection. In fact, customs continue to do an incredible and amazing job in that regard. Customs intake increases every cycle. We need prudent and frugal control of our revenues and resources or we risk being in a position where we get more but always have less.
