The Caribbean Region as a whole represents a market of about 43 million people who collectively imported over $20.9 billion of U.S. goods in 2016. As a result, the region is the 3rd largest export market for U.S. manufactured goods in Latin America behind only Mexico and Brazil. The six-part "Opportunities in the Caribbean Region" Webinar Series will provide valuable insights to new and experienced exporters who will gain knowledge of the export opportunities in this dynamic region.
Date: Wednesday, October 18, 2017 | 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM EDT
Cost: $35
Place: Virtual/Desktop
Why EXPORT to Haiti?
The United States is Haiti’s chief trading partner, with a 40 percent share of Haiti’s import market. Haiti’s economy is unique in the Caribbean region, with a large population of 10 million people, but a relatively small $7.9 billion GDP. Haiti has the lowest import tariffs in the Caribbean region, and American businesses continue to do well in finding local buyers and distributors.
Best prospect sectors for
US exports include:
Apparel and Textile; Machinery and Transport; Automotive Sector and Parts; Telecommunications Services and Equipment; Electrical Power Systems; Tourism; and Building Materials/Equipment
Participant expectations:
Webinar participants will learn about business opportunities and best prospect sectors in Haiti, as well as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and building a compliance program.
