Import questions

10 years ago
Hi All

I really appreciate all the great help I and others get on this forum. Not quite as enthused about some of the snarky posts, but the good far outweighs the bad!

Wifey and me will be migrating from central Ohio to Belize in a couple years. We're debating on bringing some things. I thought I'd get some advice from some of you who've been down that road. (BTW, I've read a number of other posts on this topic but did not see these particular issues addressed).

I have a house plant that my wife gave me (as an office warming gift) in 1992. Somehow, I've kept it alive all these years. Will I be able to bring it with me?

How advisable would it be to bring any of the following (vs purchasing local after arrival)? How heavy are the import duties?

Small tiller (We're serious gardeners)
Small word working tools (I'm a hobby craftsman)
Small welding machine (ditto) (requires 220--is that available?)
Small kitchen appliances (mixer, convection oven, etc)

I will need to bring my computer to enable me to continue doing my internet based biz for at least a couple years. How bad will the import fees be on something like that?

How expensive is it to bring a cat? I know I have to get it vet certified on this end but what about entry fees?

Here's a morbid question: what if an ex-pat dies in Belize? Is it a big deal to get the body back to the US?
