Honduras United States Department of State

The United States is Honduras' largest trade and economic partner. U. S. exports to Honduras in 2014 were USD 5.9 billion. The entry into force of CAFTA-DR in 2006 boosted U. S. export opportunities and diversified the composition of bilateral trade. Substantial intra-industry trade now occurs in textiles and electrical machinery, alongside continued trade in traditional Honduran exports such as coffee and bananas. In addition to liberalizing trade in goods and services, CAFTA-DR includes important disciplines relating to investment, customs administration and trade facilitation, technical barriers to trade, government procurement, telecommunications, electronic commerce, intellectual property rights, transparency, and labor and environmental protection.
