Businesses will once again be able to import products from Florida in the United States using a Certificate of Free Sale issued by the Enterprise Florida Institute as long as the goods being imported are not subject to an existing distributorship agreement.

This decision was reached by Cabinet and took effect from  May 1, 2021, according to a release yesterday from the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Commerce.

A contention had arisen among importers of products from Florida after some businesses expressed concern that the Government Analyst-Food and Drugs Department was no longer accepting Certificates of Free Sale issued by the Florida Enterprise Inc.
