Martinique is a French overseas department (département d’outre-mer) in the Caribbean Sea, forming part of the Lesser Antilles. As a French department and full EU customs territory, it operates under EU trade rules, including the EU Common External Tariff and EFSA food safety regulations. Martinique imports most of its food including rice, which is consumed as a staple in Creole cuisine as well as by the island’s South Asian community.
The main port of Martinique is Fort-de-France. Container services from Pakistan to the Caribbean typically route through the Suez Canal, with transit times of approximately 25–30 days from Karachi to Fort-de-France. Some shipments route via European transshipment hubs. IRRI-6 long-grain rice is relevant for the broader Creole food market, while Basmati varieties serve the South Asian diaspora segment. As an EU territory, all rice from Pakistan must comply with EFSA pesticide MRL limits and EU food safety requirements.
HAG provides a complete EU-compliant documentation set for every shipment to Martinique, including a Certificate of Origin issued by the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) and a Phytosanitary Certificate from Pakistan’s Department of Plant Protection.
