I failed to mention - Don't have items forwarded to a Barbados address. I was charged 20% duty, even though the package was clearly labeled Yacht in Transit. They even opened the item and googled it to find a retail value...

Good news on Trinidad - Still a bit risky trying to get Visa's from US embassys that don't usually allow it - The Americans love their rules... It might work for some, but not others... Barbados definitely does tourist visas.
