Call port control on Channel 16 or 14 before entering the port.
Clearance on entry has to be done with an appointed local agent. It's likely several will make contact with you as you arrive, possibly coming out in boats to meet you. The agent will organise all the appropriate authorities coming to the boat.
Everyone should remain on board until clearance is complete.
Customs and port police will seal all alcoholic drinks and radio equipment on board. The agent will then arrange shore passes, for which a passport size photograph is required. The passports must then be left with Immigration, which usually holds them until the following day. The ship's papers are held by the Port Office until port dues are paid, in US dollars cash, on departure.
On departure, one must clear with the port office, then pay the port dues at the Port Corporation in East Town. Next one has to clear customs and return to the port office to get back the ship's papers.
