St Lucia is an Eastern Caribbean island nation and full CARICOM member with a mixed economy anchored by tourism, banana exports, and a growing manufacturing sector. The country exports bananas, clothing, cocoa, avocados, and manufactured goods, while importing food, machinery, chemicals, and fuel primarily from the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom. St Lucia participates in the CARICOM Single Market and Economy and benefits from Caribbean Basin Initiative preferences for exports to the US market.
St Lucia's leading exports include bananas, clothing and apparel, cocoa, avocados, and various manufactured goods; tourism services are the dominant foreign exchange earner, but agricultural and light manufacturing exports remain significant.
St Lucia applies the CARICOM Common External Tariff (CET) to imports from non-CARICOM countries such as the United States, with rates varying by product category; a Value Added Tax (VAT) is also levied on most imported goods.
Yes, St Lucia benefits from the Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI), which grants duty-free or reduced-duty access to the US market for a wide range of eligible goods meeting the program's origin and other qualifying criteria.
