At arrival, in the Immigration/Customs clearance step (the notice is addressed to travellers; the airport page places the requirement under its arrival section). No separate deadline is stated.
Who it applies to, exceptions and limits (full text)
Arriving travellers carrying anything beyond defined personal effects - household items; foodstuff including meats, fruit and vegetables; gifts; alcohol; tobacco; commercial items - must declare it on the Immigration/Customs Form (Form C15 revised); personal effects are articles (new and used) which a traveller may reasonably require for personal use during the journey. The customs notice lists exemptions only as menu links (personal effects, household effects, spirits & tobacco, '$3000.00 TT allowance', etc.) and does not state their eligibility conditions or current amounts. The Airports Authority page corroborates the C15 requirement at airport scope only, and separately displays at airport scope a $3,000.00 TT goods allowance whose maximum a traveller may claim once every year and spirits/tobacco quantities for passengers 17 years and over; these allowance figures are context only, are not asserted as national rules from the customs notice, and are not listed as separate procedures.

Not separately stated; the notice gives no distinct filing window or deadline for the C88 beyond its designation for unaccompanied baggage.
For baggage that is unaccompanied: the customs notice names the Unaccompanied Baggage Declaration Form (C88) - a form distinct from the traveller's C15 - for goods that must be declared (household items, foodstuff including meats/fruit/vegetables, gifts, alcohol, tobacco, commercial items). The notice states no further eligibility conditions, numeric thresholds or amounts for the C88; its unaccompanied-baggage designation comes from the form's own title. The Airports Authority page repeats the same C15/C88 wording at airport scope only.
