Moving to the Cayman Islands?

If you’re moving to Cayman, the best course of action is to first decide whether you will be renting or buying a house. Most rentals come fully furnished, as do previously owned houses and condos. Newly built houses and condos come unfurnished. Many people buy new furniture locally, or take advantage of the booming second hand market onEcayTrade and other local Facebook pages.

If you decide to buy your own home, you can choose to import your personal items (furniture, paintings, accessories, etc.). If you have been here longer than the six-month duty-free window, then you can write to the head of Cayman Customs explaining that you have now bought a property and would like to import your used personal items from back home, and request that the items be brought in duty-free (see theShipping to Cayman page for more information). It is unlikely you will be denied, as long as the request is genuine. This would be subject to any condition that the Collector may see fit to impose. Provide all the receipts so you can prove the items are over six months old, but please note, the items must be used – if the items are new and have never been used, then you will likely be charged duty.

If you decide to buy your own home but don’t have any of your own furniture, then Cayman has great furniture stores as well as extremely talented furniture designers who can build almost anything from scratch, such as wine cellars, book shelves, entertainment centres, stair cases, custom closets and beds, etc.
