About Belize
Belize is located on the eastern coast of Central America, bordered by Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean Sea. English is the official language, while Spanish and Belizean Creole are also widely spoken. The country's economy is primarily known for agriculture, marine products, and tourism.
The spirits market
Alcohol is legal in Belize, with commercial distribution restricted to licensed premises and imports requiring shipment-specific licences issued to registered businesses. Shipments face heavy duties, including 40% to 110% import tariffs, Revenue Replacement Duty, and 12.5% General Sales Tax. Local producers manufacture rum, vodka, gin, brandy, and liqueurs. Expanding hospitality and tourism sectors create demand for premium international spirits, providing opportunities for exporters working through licensed domestic distributors.
