Trade Department offering services remotely amid COVID spike

As the BVI hosts more than 1,200 active COVID-19 cases, the Department of Trade has joined other local institutions to offer their services remotely.

The department said it will provide services remotely from July 9 to July 23.

It said this is to ensure the health and safety of its officers and clients. 

“In the interim, you can contact our offices at 468- 4280 or [email protected]. Persons who wish to make in person payments or drop their physical application to the department can do so on Mondays and Tuesdays between the hours of 9 am and 2 pm,” the Trade Department stated.

“Appointments when our services resume can be made by contacting the Public Service Customer Service Care Centre via telephone at 468-3701 or online at www.bvips.org,” it added.

In the meantime, persons seeking to make payments for trade licences and other services are also advised to call or email.
