Moving to Ambergris Caye

Post new topic

Hello Everyone,

My wife and I want to move to Ambergris Caye and open an ice cream shop.  I have been there several times and I really like it and I have talked about moving for years, so it is time to do it.

We have purchased all of our equipment and we are in the process of making plans for the move.  I am looking for a customs broker and a good way to ship my items.  If you have any information it would be greatly appreciated.

There are companies that will ship a 8x8x20 steel shipping container from Houston or Miami for $3-5k. Keep Duties in mind. Also there is an established frozen custard shop in San Pedro for sale. I was there 2 weeks ago and considered it. Good location. Good luck.
