What You Need To Know About Freight Export to the Caribbean

Quality One Shipping • 23 August 2018

The Caribbean region is a lucrative export market for the US; the region imports up to $20 billion of the US products on a yearly basis. In fact, it’s the third biggest importer of US goods in Latin America; only behind Mexico and Brazil.


Since the Caribbean and the US are tied together by geography, culture, and history, the two are natural commercial partners. Other than being in close proximity, the existence of Free Trade Agreements is another great motivator for trade between the two stakeholders.


However, before you start freight export to the Caribbean, there are some variables you should be familiar with; for instance, market access conditions, rules and regulations, etc. So without further ado, let’s talk about what to know before exporting to the Caribbean!
