When shipping internationally by sea or air to Belize for the first time, assistance will be highly recommended, since there are several restrictions, prohibitions, and guidelines to consider. Shipping to Latin America and the Caribbean is easier with LAC as we have overcome these obstacles many times and have developed a thorough understanding of the customs procedures.
Documentation requirements vary depending on the category of goods being shipped and can get quite extensive. They usually include Commercial invoice, Bill of lading / Air waybill, Packing list, Insurance certificate, and Certificate of Origin (if required).
To avoid delays or hassles, your packing list must be as detailed as possible. Vague wording like “miscellaneous” attracts negative attention and further inspections.
Regulations can be strict on certain categories of goods being imported to Belize. Prior authorization or special permits may be needed for certain items such as meat, vegetables & fruits, cereals, flour, sugar, spirits, prepared animal fodder, or wood.
Restricted and prohibited commodities include live animals, plants, and certain dangerous goods and hazardous products.
Tariffs and duties are usually calculated based on the total value of the shipment. Depending on how well-documented the cargo is, these values may be determined on the spot by local customs officials.
