Doing Business in CARICOM
Doing Business in CARICOM
The CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) creates opportunities for Belizean businesses to trade goods and services across the Caribbean.
Entrepreneurs and companies can expand beyond their local market, access new customers, and benefit from reduced trade barriers within the region.
The Common External Tariff supports a single regional market by applying a common tariff to goods imported from outside CARICOM while facilitating trade among Member States.
Products that qualify as originating goods under the CARICOM Rules of Origin can benefit from reduced trade barriers when traded within participating CARICOM Member States.
