About Dominica
Dominica is an island nation situated in the Eastern Caribbean. English is the official language, alongside a widely spoken French-based Creole. The economy is primarily known for agriculture and eco-tourism.
The spirits market
Alcohol is legal in Dominica, with sales and commercial distribution handled by licensed private operators without a state monopoly. Local production focuses heavily on rum, including agricole and overproof styles, as well as gin. Imports face specific excise taxes and 15% VAT calculated directly on CIF value, alongside duties that exclude certified CARICOM goods. Exporters benefit from this eliminated border tax compounding and growing hospitality demand for premium whiskies, vodkas, and liqueurs.
