Yes, we are at some point, but we are only just flying to Belize now in the next few days, and were going to wait 14 months until we are residents and exempt from import duties and taxes (we are not thinking of making use of QPR). Would be good to have some direct contact to discuss - can you Skype?

Good day. Please be aware you will never be exempt from import duties and taxes in Belize.  You can avoid import duties, to some degree, by doing QRP, not by being a permanent resident.

@belizeboy would love to know what sort of quotes you have. We haven’t got anything planned to ship at the moment but if there is a decent price that we can spilt happy to iron out the details. @neomisa unfortunately the response above is correct in that you won’t be exempt from paying customs and duties because your a resident. We found a great customs agent that helped us bring the costs down when we shipped our belongings from the Uk. Beds, car the lot.  But other than that it’s near impossible to avoid paying.

Hi, what's the name of the great customs agent?

Hello,
My name is Jen. I'm curious to know how big your container is, and how much it would cost for me to add any items for belize. I've never shipped anything to Belize, even though I've always wanted to know if there was a way to do this. Have you shipped to Belize from the UK before?
