Trade overview
French Guiana is an overseas territory of France and therefore part of the European Union's customs territory, which has significant implications for trade classification and tariff treatment. The territory is home to the Guiana Space Centre (Kourou), making aerospace-related imports a notable trade category. Most consumer and industrial goods are imported, as local production is limited.
