US Virgin Islands Governor Albert Bryan Jr.
The Governor of the neighbouring US Virgin Islands, Albert Bryan Jr. has requested an emergency session with his legislature to discuss imposing a 25% tariff on imports from the British Virgin Islands and introducing travel fees for non-residents crossing between the two territories.
According to an article published by the VI Consortium on Wednesday, the proposal, which aims to address economic imbalances and protect local businesses, was revealed in a letter sent to Senate president Milton Potter.
The proposed measures include setting tariffs on imported goods from the BVI at 25% or higher and implementing new entry and exit fees for non-residents travelling to and from the US Virgin Islands via the BVI.
