Trinidad and Tobago: Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

While most U.S. products are fully acceptable in Trinidad and Tobago (TT), special attention needs to be given to licensing, certification, labeling and documentation for select products in order to avoid costly customs clearance delays. U.S. suppliers should be aware that port of entry scrutiny can be intense on new-to-market players as well as new-to-market food products until a track record of compliance can be established. To avoid import hiccups, it is recommended that U.S. suppliers have their TT buyer verify compliance with all import requirements prior to shipping new-to-market products. A list of the relevant TT authorities is provided in this report.
