Additional Clearance Information
Door-to-door delivery is provided for document and non-dutiable shipments to any part of Belize except extended areas, such as on the border or remote areas. When a document shipment is addressed to these extended areas, the consignee is contacted by a UPS representative and asked if he or she wants the shipment delivered by bus or the post office.

Upon arrival of a dutiable shipment, the consignee is contacted to determine who will clear the shipment. The consignee can use the broker recommended by UPS or another broker. If the consignee elects to use the broker recommended by UPS, UPS makes delivery. If the consignee uses his own broker, UPS releases the paperwork and the broker completes delivery.

Non-documents will not be delivered until the consignee pays the duties and taxes. All packages are inspected prior to delivery.

UPS cannot deliver to a P.O. Box address. All packages require a consignee's contact name and complete street address including apartment, suite or unit number if applicable. The consignee's telephone number should be provided if known.
