Trade overview

The Turks and Caicos Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean with a small, import-dependent economy driven primarily by tourism and offshore financial services. The US is the dominant supplier of imported goods to the territory, including food, machinery, fuels, and consumer products. There is no free trade agreement between the US and the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the territory applies its own customs tariff schedule to incoming goods.
