About Haiti

Haiti is a Caribbean nation sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. Its official languages are French and Haitian Creole. The economy is primarily known for agriculture, light manufacturing, and textile production.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal in Haiti, operating through private retail distribution without a state monopoly or dry areas. Commercial importers require tax registration, a patente, and an import declaration, facing 15% to 20% customs tariffs alongside surcharges, a 20% excise duty, and a 10% turnover tax. Local distilleries primarily produce clairin and rum. Niche opportunities exist for imported whiskies, cognacs, and premium spirits, though logistical volatility and political instability constrain broader commercial expansion.
