Exporting and Importing to Guadeloupe
While Guadeloupe is undoubtedly known for its beaches and vibrant culture, it also possesses a surprisingly dynamic and evolving tech landscape. The tech trade sector in Guadeloupe is still growing, focusing on providing IT services and solutions to local businesses and organizations.
As a French Overseas Territory, Guadeloupe benefits from being part of the EU Single Market. This grants access to preferential trade agreements with other EU members. Guadeloupe also participates in regional trade agreements like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). These agreements facilitate trade and cooperation with other Caribbean islands. However, complex regulations and administrative procedures can hinder trade facilitation.
Unique Pain Points for Imports to Guadeloupe
High Duties and Taxes
Guadeloupe follows EU customs regulations as well as local regulations when goods reach the border. Taxes and duties in the country are considerably high. Extra taxes and duties are also placed on IT goods.
Limited Transportation
There are limited direct shipping routes into Guadeloupe, which increases costs and complicates the logistical process. This limit of direct routes means that many goods cannot be shipped straight to Guadeloupe but instead must be transshipped and offloaded at an intermediary port before being shipped into Guadeloupe.
