Customs: Street vendors' Mexican products are properly screened - 07/22/20 06:40 PM
Representatives from Customs and Excise on Ambergris Caye have indicated that products brought over from Mexico and sold on the streets - particularly Angel Coral Drive - have undergone safety protocols at the northern border. This information was corroborated by a customs broker at the northern border, indicating that no cargo enters the country unless it is properly sanitized.
According to customs, when the items are brought in, they are sprayed and kept overnight in an area within the border before they are allowed to enter Belize. Persons obtaining anything from the cargo must pay their respective duties and are provided with a receipt. This is proof that such products are not the result of contraband, which takes place in northern Belize. Vendors on Angel Coral Drive are claiming that they only obtain their products after proper screening. These products mainly include toiletries, household cleaners and hygienic items. Vendors assure islanders that their products are not tainted with COVID-19.
