Excise Duty

Suriname's import duty structure is primarily based on the CARICOM Common External Tariff (CET), which standardizes rates across member states. The regime is designed to protect regional industries while generating fiscal revenue through a combination of ad valorem duties and internal taxes. Importers must navigate a multi-layered system that includes customs duties, Value Added Tax (VAT), and specific excise levies depending on the commodity classification.
