Discusses pricing formula and other fees, value-added tax (VAT), etc.
Last Published: 8/3/2019

There is no fixed pricing structure, but the government imposes restrictions on the mark-up of some products. For example, retailers are prohibited from increasing the sale price of pharmaceutical products by more than 40 percent. Prices of petroleum products are strictly controlled. Haiti has the highest port fees in the hemisphere as well as various import taxes and duties that apply to all imported products. These associated costs add approximately 35 percent to the final sale price of imported products.
