Belize is Open for Your Business
U.S. Commercial Service Services for U.S. Companies
Every year, the U.S. Commercial Service helps thousands of companies export goods and services worth billions of dollars. The Political and Economic Section of the U.S. Embassy in Belize works closely and regularly with the Regional U.S. Commercial Service office in El Salvador to provide assistance to U.S. companies wishing to enter or expand business in the Belize market. Let us help you find the best opportunities for your business in Belize.
Proven Trade Expertise. The global network of U.S. Commercial Service (USCS) trade professionals is located throughout the United States and in U.S. Embassies and Consulates in nearly 80 countries. In countries such as Belize, where the USCS has no presence, the State Department Economic and Commercial Office of the U.S. Embassy draws on the specialized advice and experience of a nearby CS post to better assist U.S. business clients. Whether you’re looking to make your first export sale or expand your business in Belize, we offer the trade counseling, and market intelligence you need to connect with lucrative business opportunities. In addition, we will help you to develop trade finance and insurance strategies that align with your particular business objectives and help you complete your export transaction.
