FOREWORD

The Government of Belize continues to place special emphasis on establishing this country as a reputable and reliable
supplier of quality goods and services. Notwithstanding its relatively small size, Belize’s export sector capacity and
capability continues to grow and remain competitive in particular niche markets such as papayas and hot-pepper. The
export sector has adopted competitiveness and quality as selling points as it seeks to improve even further an already
impressive record.

The Belize Trade and Investment Development Service (BELTRAIDE) was mandated to be the implementing arm of
government policy in the area of Export Promotion and Investment. BELTRAIDE has been successful in producing its
first edition of an Importers and Exporters Directory worthy of the highest commendation. The directory complements
other initiatives that BELTRAIDE has undertaken such as the Exporter’s Manual and The Priority Sectors for Investment
and Export Promotion. BELTRAIDE, as part of its active support for trade globalization, industrial activities and foreign
investment, sincerely hopes that this directory will stimulate further business with Belize.

The Government of Belize, in order to facilitate the best enabling environment and infrastructure, is engaged in a series of
international trade negotiations. We are committed in the negotiation process for the Free Trade Areas of the Americas.
The globalized trade arena has posed its share of challenges to the Belize economy, but our exporters have been able
to maintain their presence in traditional markets such as CARICOM, the United States of America and Europe, while
making important inroads into non-traditional markets such as Japan.

We take this opportunity to express on behalf of the Ministry of Home Affairs and Investment and BELTRAIDE to
thank all those involved in producing this Directory of Importers and Exporters. We are sincerely grateful to the many
entities that cooperated in the preparation of this directory, including all of the companies and associations, as well as the
advertisers appearing in the directory, and to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) for funding the production
of this directory as an activity of the BELTRAIDE-IDB Technical Cooperation Project.

I wish to reiterate the Government of Belize’s commitment to the production of quality goods and services, and to thank
BELTRAIDE for providing another window showcasing this country’s products to the world.

Sincerely,

Hon. Ralph H. Fonseca

Minister of Home Affairs & Investment

 CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY AND COMMON MARKET (CARICOM)

The Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) was established by the Treaty of Chaguaramas, which was
signed by Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago, and came into effect on August 1st, 1973. CARICOM is
aimed at the eventual integration of its members and economies, and the creation of a common market – the CARICOM
Single Market Economy (CSME).

Under the CARICOM agreement, all imported products entering Belize from one of the CARICOM member countries
are exempted from import duties. In order to receive an exemption, importers must produce to the Comptroller of
Customs a CARICOM Certificate of Origin which validates the CARICOM origin.

CARICOM Members

Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Turks and Caicos Islands, the
Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Guyana, St. Kitts and Nevis, Suriname, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Trinidad
and Tobago

CARICOM Observers

Anguilla, the Cayman Islands, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Bermuda, Dominican Republic,
Netherlands Antilles

On May 1st, 1971, Belize (then, British Honduras) became a member of CARICOM. Within CARICOM, Belize is listed
as a Less Developed Country (LDC), and has been designated as one of the disadvantaged countries in the Community.
Belize can export most of its products to CARICOM duty-free. Products which do not meet the qualifying conditions
(i.e. Rules of Origin) must face the import duties as prescribed in the Common External Tariff (CET).

TARIFFS

What is a tariff?

A tariff is a tax placed on imported or exported goods, sometimes called a customs duty. A revenue tariff is set with
the intent of raising money for the government. A protective tariff, usually applied to imported goods, is intended to
artificially inflate prices of imports and “protect” domestic industries from foreign competition.

What is an ad valorem tariff?

An ad valorem tariff is a fixed percentage of the value of the good that is being imported. In some instances these
may be problematic as when the international price of a good falls, so does the tariff, and domestic industries become
more vulnerable to competition. Conversely, when the price of a good rises in the international market, so does the
tariff.

What is a specific tariff?

A specific tariff is a tariff of a specific amount of money that does not vary with the price of the good. These tariffs
may be harder to decide the amount at which to set them, and may need to be updated due to changes in the market
or inflation.

13
 THE COMMON EXTERNAL TARIFF (CET)

Belize, as a member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), adopts the Common External Tariff (CET), which is
a single-tier tariff schedule for goods imported from non-CARICOM countries.

 PRIORITY SECTOR PROFILES
Traditional Agriculture
Belize’s economic output has traditionally been primarily
based on agriculture. However, within the past five years
there has been a prominent shift towards the services sector
with emphasis on tourism and finance.
Belize’s top three agricultural exports are citrus, sugar, and
bananas. Agriculture currently provides about 71% of the
country’s total foreign exchange earnings, and employs
approximately 29% of the total labour force.
Sugar accounts for about 60% of Belize’s agricultural
exports, and the principal crop is sugar cane which is used for
sugar production and a feed stock for ethanol production.
Sugar cane is grown primarily in Northern Belize. About
50% of Belize’s sugar exports are sent to the EU under the
EU Sugar Protocol and the Special Preferential Quota. Sugar
exports to the US enter duty-free under the Caribbean Basin
Initiative (CBI).
Growth in citrus exports over the past ten years has averaged
24% per annum, making it the fastest growing agricultural
industry. Citrus production is concentrated in the Stann
Creek and Cayo Districts. Citrus harvesting and processing
takes place during the months of October to July, and the
main crop varieties are Valencia and Temple.
Over 95% of the fresh fruit citrus is processed into
concentrates and not-from-concentrates (NFC’s), with the
balance sent for export mainly to the U.K. The U.S, Europe,
Japan, and CARICOM are the main importers of Belizean
citrus products, and Belize continues to depend heavily on
preferential duty-free treatment into these markets.
Banana production is concentrated in Southern Belize.
Privatization of banana estates began in 1985, and prior to
this the industry was publicly owned. The species grown
in Belize are of the “Cavendish” type, which is one of the
most commonly grown varieties. All of Belize’s banana
exports are sent to the U.K. through the Banana Growers
Association (BGA).
18
Agro-Processing
Agro-processing was identified as an area of high priority as
Belize has an abundance of raw materials available to sup-
port the industry. With the advent of the loss of preferential
access into the U.K, Belize will have to take pro-active mea-
sures to protect its agricultural industry. With this in mind,
there has been a push towards value-added traditional crops,
as well as the promotion of non-traditional crops such as
papayas, hot peppers, soybean, and organically grown veg-
etables. An opportunity has also been identified to brand,
differentiate, and niche market some of these products in
order to de-emphasize price as the leading determinant of
exports.
The shift towards the promotion of value-added and non-
traditional agricultural crops has led to an increase in light
manufacturing and agro-processing. Sugar, citrus, banana,
and rice-based value-added products such as banana flour,
banana chips, banana figs, crystallized citrus, orange and
grapefruit segment, and dried fruits, as well as hot peppers
in the area of non-traditional crops have been identified
as areas that should be targeted for export and additional
investment. Diversifying into agro-processing represents a
viable strategy that would make the agricultural industry
in Belize more sustainable, in light of the phasing out of
preferential access to markets.
In addition, value-added products typically command
higher prices, and provide greater opportunities for branding
Belizean products and niche marketing. This would thereby
help to eliminate some of the cost disadvantages that Belize
faces when competing with countries that have larger scale
production and cheaper labour.
 Offshore Financial Services
In an effort to increase economic diversification, Belize
is a tax haven with investor friendly advantages for non-
residents. The Offshore Financial Services Industry has
been identified as an area of opportunity for Belize given
the size of the industry worldwide and in the Caribbean,
as well as the fact that Belize has well developed legislation
for Offshore Financial Services, a reasonably well-developed
domestic financial industry, and its proximity to the large
USA, Mexican, and Canadian markets.
Belize also boasts that it is the only English-speaking country
in Central America, has a literate workforce, low operating
costs, a stable economy, flexible fiscal incentives, and has
had a fixed exchange rate for 25 years.
Today, there are more than 35,000 active International
Business Companies (IBC) on the register, and in addition
there are other corporate vehicles available in the jurisdiction
such as limited liability companies, mutual funds, protected
cell companies, offshore trusts, international insurance, and
offshore banking. Belize has also established programs such
as Export Processing Zones (EPZ) and Commercial Free
Zones (CFZ) to encourage investment.
Despite the September 11th attacks, Belize is the only
country in Central America that has experienced steady and
continuous growth in the International Financial Services
Industry.
Belize has put in place a variety of measures to combat
money laundering and fraud. The International Financial
Services Commission (IFSC) is responsible for maintaining
and enhancing the reputation of Belize as a viable offshore
financial center. The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)
was also recently established in a further effort to combat
money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The
Unit is also responsible for investigating and prosecuting
money laundering and other financial crimes such as
internet fraud.
19
Furniture Manufacturing
Belize has an abundance of forestry resources, and the
forestry industry has a long history in Belize. As a British
colony, logwood was the first product ever exported from
Belize in the 1600s. By the end of the 1700s, exports turned
to mahogany, and until 1959 when sugar and citrus became
the main exports, the Belizean economy was dependent on
the mahogany trade.
The main location of the largest furniture manufacturers
in Belize is in the Cayo District, namely San Ignacio and
Belmopan. Proximity to lumber yards is the predominant
reason for this location.
Typical secondary processed wood products in Belize include
carved doors of Mayan and Colonial type, clam chairs,
Caribbean patio sets, hammock chairs, cutting boards
of tropical mixed hardwoods, carved coffee tables, office
furniture, and bedroom furniture.
Approximately 700 species of trees are native to Belize,
making tropical timber a valuable resource. This natural
resource serves as Belize’s potential comparative advantage,
shielding it from the import prices of the international
lumber market, and as such, sustainability is vital.
A positive indicator of future trends in forestry, however,
is the low population density of Belize. Higher densities
tend to put pressure on land and natural resources due to
agricultural production and urban development. In addition
to this, the government is working on restricting exports to
legally and sustainably harvested timber.

and helps us to create greater awareness and appreciation
for our own cultural and natural resources.

Belize is home to a wide array of natural attractions. White

sand islands surround the Western Hemisphere’s longest
barrier reef, jungle-covered foothills rising up to the Maya
Mountains, world-class diving and fishing, lush rainforests,
cascading waterfalls, ancient temples, and abundant wildlife
are just a few of the attractions that allows Belize to be truly
considered “Mother Nature’s best-kept secret”.

Belizeans are committed to eco-tourism, conserving natural

areas and cultural heritage, and are happy to share their
paradise with those who wish to help preserve it. Each year
more and more visitors come to Belize to enjoy its many
wonders. Friends and families are drawn to this magical
and beautiful land to dive, fish, hike, explore, learn, or just
to relax.

In 2004, total overnight tourist arrivals were 230,832, a

4.7% increase from 2003 figures (220,574).

The main market for Belize continues to be the United

States, and approximately 137,367 tourists were Americans.
This represents a 7.9% increase from 2003.

In 2004, there were 406 cruise ship calls into Belizean port.
This represented a 28.9% increase in cruise ship calls over
2003. Total cruise passengers for 2004 totaled 851,436,
which represents a 48.0% passenger increase from 2003.

Tourism has been identified as one of Belize’s priority

sectors for attracting investors, as additional investment
would result in the earning of additional foreign exchange
through the export of tourism services. Growth in the
industry would also result in spillover benefits in other
sectors/industries such as agriculture, handicraft making,
and services that support or complement tourism.

Each year the Belize Tourism Board releases its Travel

& Tourism Statistics Digest showing the performance
of the tourism industry. For more information on the
tourism industry in Belize, and a comprehensive listing of
