Currently no development partner has been identified.

Belize requires assistance and support in upgrading and incorporating other agencies (including Shipping Agents, BAHA, the Port Authority, BELTRAIDE, Forest Department, Department of the Environment, Ministry of Finance, and Central Bank) to a full electronic system suitable to connect to the ASYCUDA World System. This process will entail a revision of the current systems, updating existing ones and creation of new systems (Single-window approach).
Belize appreciates any opportunity from development partners for the relevant officials to participate in capacity development and training activities on Pre-Arrival Processing.
