Belize custom regulations

Passengers and importers who import goods from UK may seek to obtain duty exemptions on the tariff of their goods or car. Below are the Government institutions set up for this purpose:

Ministry of Finance
This ministry gives duty exemptions on Import Duty (personal items / cars) and may give exemptions on Revenue Replacement Duty and General Sales Tax. Environmental Tax remains applicable for this exemption. Applications can be made in writing to the Financial Secretary.

Belize Trade and Investment Development Service (BELTRAIDE)
This Institution gives duty exemption on Import Duty only. Applications can be made in writing to the Executive Chairman.

Department of General Sales Tax
This department may give exemption on General Sales Tax (GST). Applications are to be made in writing to the General Sales Tax Commissioner.

When goods or merchandise are granted duty exemption, the importer will receive a letter from the proper exemption body. This letter will specify the conditions of the exemption and the goods exempted. Be advised that for proper record the goods must be documented on a Customs Entry (declaration made on a Single Administration Document) on which the reference number for the exemption letter must be noted.
