Although Dominica's duty-free shopping scene isn't as established as many other Caribbean isles, new outlets are planned; pick up cut-price jewellery, tobacco, sunglasses and clothing.

Dominica, known as the "Nature Island," is not a traditional shopping destination like St. Thomas or St. Maarten. You won't find sprawling designer outlets or massive duty-free malls here. Instead, shopping in Dominica is focused on local crafts and authentic island products. The best shopping experiences are at the Roseau Market, where you can find hand-woven Kalinago baskets, locally produced essential oils (especially Vetiver and Lemongrass), and "Bello" brand hot sauces or coffee. There are some duty-free shops in the capital, Roseau, offering jewelry and spirits, but the selection is modest. If you are looking for luxury watches or high-end European fashion, you will be disappointed. However, if you want to support local artisans and bring home a piece of genuine Caribbean culture, Dominica offers a much more soulful and less commercialized shopping experience than its neighbors.
