The island is a duty-free zone and therefore goods can be imported free of payment and formalities. However, restricted goods such as drugs, firearms and ammunition, explosives and so on should be declared to the authorities when clearing in.

In general, visiting yachtsmen are permitted to stay on the island for a maximum period of three months. This will sometimes vary according to your nationality and so it is best to enquire when clearing in.
