Trade overview

Martinique is a French overseas department and EU outermost region in the Lesser Antilles, fully integrated into the EU customs territory and subject to EU trade law and the Common Customs Tariff. Its export profile is anchored by rum, bananas, and refined petroleum products, while imports—predominantly from France and the EU—cover food, machinery, vehicles, and consumer goods. The local Octroi de Mer tax applies to imports and is a key consideration for trade professionals shipping goods to Martinique.
