Traveling salespersons are not permitted to visit Bermuda to sell products without first obtaining a Periodic Permit.
Applications for Periodic Permits in respect of travelling salespersons will be accepted from either (a) a local business acting as an agent or (b) from the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce (“the Chamber”). The Chamber will screen each application to determine if the product is already represented by a local firm and whether issuance of the permit will threaten that firm’s interests or, if the product is not yet available on the Island, determine which businesses would have an interest in the product and set up appointments with interested firms on behalf of the visiting traveling salesperson.
Periodic Permits for travelling salespersons are valid for one (1) year only with restrictions as deemed appropriate by the Department upon recommendation by the Chamber.
