Turks and Caicos Islands: We urge all travelers to carefully check your luggage for stray ammunition or forgotten weapons before departing from the United States. Fi****ms, ammunition (including stray bullets), and other weapons are not permitted in the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI). TCI authorities strictly enforce all firearms-and-ammunition-related laws. Declaring a weapon in your luggage with an airline carrier does not grant permission to bring the weapon into the Turks and Caicos Islands and will result in your arrest.
