Import duty on spirits
French overseas department inside the EU customs territory, so the EU Common Customs Tariff applies (third-country duty is 0% on the high-value rum line checked; other 2208 lines not individually read, and the UK tariff derived from it shows 0% on most spirits). On top: French/DOM excise on alcohol, a local surcharge (successor to the octroi de mer-type duty) and a social-security contribution on drinks above 18% vol. Special reduced excise applies only to rum/spirits made and consumed in the same department.
Major producers
Distillerie Damoiseau, Distillerie Bologne, Distillerie Bellevue, Distillerie Bielle, Distillerie Poisson (Rhum du Pere Labat)
The market
Guadeloupe is an overseas department of France, part of the EU and eurozone but outside Schengen (Wikipedia), so French alcohol law applies; the national and local excise and 'octroi de mer' treatment was not verified. Rum is a main export, from about ten distilleries.
Making spirits
Rum comes from about ten distilleries across Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre and Marie-Galante (Wikipedia, Guadeloupe).
Importing
As part of France and the EU customs territory, EU rules apply; local duties not verified.

About Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe is a French overseas archipelago located in the Caribbean Sea. The official language is French, alongside widely spoken Guadeloupean Creole. Its economy is primarily supported by tourism, service industries, and agriculture, notably sugarcane cultivation.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal for adults aged 18, operating under a private retail model without a state monopoly. Commercial imports require an EU EORI number, and while primary spirits generally face 0% customs duties, they incur 8.5% TVA, Octroi de Mer, and excise taxes. Local production is centered on rhum agricole, aged rum, and liqueurs. Export opportunities exist for Scotch and Irish whiskies, Cognac, and premium gin, provided pricing accommodates the cumulative local tax burden.
