S'il s'agit de Puerto Rico, c'est la législation US qui fait droit.
Il faut acheter un Cruising Permit, avoir son visa US en règle,...
Loin d'être aussi rigide qu'en Floride, mais je n'ai pas entendu quiconque passer à travers depuis le 11/9.

Il se peut que ce se soit un peu "alléger" depuis 1 an.
Venant des ABC en direct, Ponce sur la cote sud permettait de faire une entrée. A vérifier directement sur les sites US.

Puerto Rico and the SVI Customs and Immigration

The following is an excerpt from The Puerto Rico Guide and The Virgin Islands Guide, both by Stephen J. Pavlidis

Since Puerto Rico is a U.S. commonwealth, American citizens do not need a passport to enter Puerto Rico. Citizens of all nations except Canada will need a U.S. Visa before arrival. Customs and Immigration tell me that you can arrive without a Visa and apply upon arrival, but the fee is steep (up to $180) and the granting of the Visa is entirely up to the officer in charge that day. It’s best to acquire a Visa prior to your voyage to Puerto Rico . U.S. citizens need a valid passport, or one not over 5-years old, or a birth certificate with a raised seal and a current photo ID. Citizens of all other nationalities will need a passport, and some will require a visa; visas are not required of citizens of Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. Failure to enter with a visa may result in a fine of up to $180 and issuing of a visa on the spot is solely in the hands of the Immigration officer on site. When entering a United States Port of Entry all crew must report in person to Immigration. There are no clearance fees in U.S. ports in the Virgin Islands. Depending on where you are arriving from, you might be asked to clear with an Agriculture representative. By the way, when clearing in to Puerto Rico , all persons aboard must present themselves along with the Captain to the local Immigration officer. Your weapons may be confiscated so bear that in mind. Pets are required to have a valid health certificate and rabies inoculation.

There are four custom districts in Puerto Rico. If you leave one district and enter another one you have to call the customs and inform them. There is a new telephone number for all districts: 1-877-529-6840.

Vessels entering and departing the Spanish, British, and United States Virgin Islands must clear when entering and leaving the territory. U.S. flagged vessels need not clear when leaving the BVI if you are staying in the BVI for less than 72 hours. U.S flagged vessels must clear in at Puerto Rico and the Spanish Virgins when leaving the USVI since St. Thomas is a duty-free port.

There are new regulations concerning clearing Customs in Puerto Rico and the Spanish Virgin Islands. All vessels leaving the United States Virgin Islands, or the British Virgin Islands, must clear upon arrival in the Spanish Virgin Islands or at Puerto Rico. Vessels entering outside of normal business hours must phone the Customs office in San Juan (787-253-4533) for instructions. You must clear Customs in person immediately upon arrival, a $10,000 fine is the penalty for an infraction of this regulation. If you arrive Tuesday morning you must clear on Tuesday, do not attempt to wait until Wednesday.

You must also visit Customs to clear out in person when leaving Puerto Rican waters. If you are in Puerto Rico and wish to sail to the Spanish Virgin Islands, you must notify the Fajardo USCG district office by phone before departure. After a vessel has cleared into Puerto Rican waters the master of the vessel must notify Customs by phone before leaving one harbor in Puerto Rico for another harbor in Puerto Rico. This means that if you wish to leave Fajardo for San Juan, you must notify Customs by phone before departing.

As a side note, cruisers have complained about being hassled about entry into Salinas. It seems a cruiser threw his “foreign” garbage in the dumpster in Salinas and was threatened with a $1,000 fine for this infraction. Apparently there is a “special” dumpster for this in Ponce, even though Salinas is a Port of Entry.

Decal Information
Decals are stickers that are placed on all private aircraft and private vessels (30 feet or more in length) as proof that the User Fee for entry into the U.S. has been paid for the calendar year. If a vessel or aircraft does not have a decal upon entering the U.S., an application must be completed and a User Fee purchased when reporting to CBP. Participation in the LBO program does not preclude the decal requirement. In order to obtain your decal you can login to our web page or submit a paper application:

Paper Application
CBP sent User Fee renewal applications to all customers who purchased calendar year User Fees. The renewal application will list all the information the customer provided for the purchase of the User Fees. Instructions are included for the completion of the application. Incorrect information should be revised and missing information should be provided on the pre-printed renewal application. We recommend that applicants provide all information requested, per the instructions, to avoid CBP having to return the application without a decal/transponder. Please contact the User Fee Help Desk at (317) 298-1245 or email for free assistance.decals@dhs.gov This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you do not receive a renewal application in the mail, you may obtain an "Annual User Fee Application for vessels or aircraft" (CF-339) from a local CBP port office or by calling User Fee Help Desk at (317) 298-1245. "Annual User Fee Applications for commercial vehicles (trucks)" may only be obtained by calling the User Fee Help Desk at (317) 298-1245 or email. decals@dhs.gov This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Failure to Report:
Failure to report can result in civil penalties as defined in Title 19, Unites States Code Section 1436, to include a penalty of $5,000 for the first violation and $10,000 for each subsequent violation with the conveyance subject to seizure and forfeiture. In addition, to being liable for a civil penalty, any master who intentionally commits a violation under subsection (a) of the above stated section, upon conviction is liable for a fine of not more than $2,000 or imprisonment for one year or both.

Puerto Rico collects no customs duties on merchandise entering the island from the continental United States or its dependencies. Merchandise entering from foreign countries is subject to the duties of the United States , which are collected at the ports of Puerto Rico by the U.S. Customs Service. At least 24-hours' advance notice of arrival of merchandise at a port should be given to the local customs officer.

Check with you home country’s duty regulations concerning importing articles from Puerto Rico. Depending on where you arriving from, you might be asked to clear with the Department of Agriculture.

Soit tu as déja un visa US, type B2 ou équivalent et n'importe quel port cité dans le post de Mwongo fera le cruising permit pour une vingtaine de $
Soit tu n'as pas encore de visa US, il faut alors faire l'aller retour BVI - USVI en ferry pour obtenir un visa touristique de 3 mois et le cruising permit à l'aéroport de Culebra, comme l'indique Isaetguy.
Cela fera un peu plus de près depuis Bonaire, et c'est un peu plus cher.....
