About Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda is an island nation located in the eastern Caribbean Sea. English is the official language. The economy is predominantly driven by international tourism, luxury hospitality, and maritime services.

The spirits market

Commercial alcohol distribution is legal, requiring registered businesses to hold an Importer's Licence and customs registration to supply licensed private retailers. While there is no standalone domestic excise tax, imports face duties up to 40%, customs charges, and a 17% sales tax. Domestic producers manufacture rum, rum liqueur, gin, pastis, and botanical spirits. A thriving upscale tourism and yachting sector drives strong demand for premium whiskies, gins, and rums, aided by an environment with no pre-market label registration requirements.
