The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean, widely recognized as a major offshore financial center. Trade flows are heavily import-dependent, with the territory relying on goods from the US, UK, and regional suppliers to support its tourism and financial services economy. Exporters should note that the Cayman Islands has no income tax or customs duty on most re-exported goods, making it a notable transshipment point.

The Cayman Islands primarily imports consumer goods, food and beverages, construction materials, and fuel to support its tourism-driven economy and resident population.
The Cayman Islands does not have a standalone free trade agreement with the US, but as a British Overseas Territory it benefits from certain preferential trade arrangements under Caribbean Basin Initiative provisions for eligible goods.
Exporters typically need a commercial invoice, bill of lading or airway bill, packing list, and a certificate of origin; certain goods may require import permits issued by the Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control Service.
