Antigua and Barbuda is an Eastern Caribbean island nation and CARICOM member whose economy is dominated by tourism and related services, making it heavily reliant on imports for consumer goods, food, fuel, and construction materials. The United States is a leading source of imports, while exports are limited primarily to petroleum products re-exported from the Antigua and Barbuda Petroleum Refinery and small quantities of manufactured goods. Trade professionals should be aware of the CARICOM Common External Tariff and local consumption taxes that apply to imported goods.
Antigua and Barbuda applies the CARICOM Common External Tariff (CET) to imports from non-CARICOM countries, along with an Antigua and Barbuda Sales Tax (ABST) on most goods and services.
Antigua and Barbuda's exports are limited and include re-exported petroleum products, small volumes of manufactured goods, and some agricultural products; the country's primary foreign exchange earner is tourism services rather than goods exports.
Yes, Antigua and Barbuda benefits from the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), which provides duty-free or reduced-duty access to the US market for a range of eligible goods meeting origin requirements.
