The voltages found in American Samoa (120V) and Barbados (115V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.
The frequency of electrical current found in American Samoa (60Hz) differs to that found in Barbados (50Hz).
Most equipment is not affected by differences in frequencies. Some exceptions are:
