Belize is a small Central American nation with a trade profile centered on agricultural exports including sugar, citrus, bananas, and marine products. Unlike its Central American neighbors, Belize is not a party to CAFTA-DR but benefits from the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), which provides preferential US market access for many goods. Belize is also a member of CARICOM, influencing its regional trade relationships.
Belize does not have a bilateral FTA with the US, but it benefits from preferential market access under the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI) and the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA), which reduce or eliminate tariffs on many Belizean exports.
Belize's main exports to the US include sugar, citrus products, bananas, marine products (particularly shrimp and lobster), crude oil, and papaya.
No. Belize is not a signatory to CAFTA-DR. It is a member of CARICOM and relies on the Caribbean Basin Initiative for preferential access to the US market rather than CAFTA-DR.
