So from the responses, it seems bringing a small internet business requiring importing/exporting of any any type of goods to Belize would be near impossible based on these duties. I really appreciate the insight.

Thanks,

To address one of the earlier questions about tech items - Computers do not have import duty. You do have to pay GST but not duty.

Many imported goods are available in Belize.
Imported goods on sale in Belize include - furniture, housewares, wine, food, building materials, computers, phones, clothes, vehicles ...... clearly it is not impossible to import goods at a price-point that makes commercial sense.
