About AmCham Haiti

The American Chamber of Commerce in Haiti (AmCham Haiti) is a nonprofit organization that encourages commercial and cultural relations between the United States and Haiti.

Amcham Haiti started back in 1980 with about 12 companies as Members and now has grown to over 125 Members and is currently one of the most active Chambers in the country.

Our members are firms and businesses who are interested in trade between the two countries. Our members through the Board of Directors and different Committees organize activities, such as breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, Happy Hours, Seminars and Conferences to educate our Members, assist in networking and B2B Matchmaking.

Mission & Objective

Mission

Amcham Haiti’s mission is to promote trade and investments between the United States and Haiti through free trade, free markets, and free enterprise.

Objective

Our objective focuses on 4 main points: Rule of Law, Arbitration, Trade Facilitation and Intellectual Property Rights. We also have a strong interest in promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with our Members and with the overall private sector in the country.

Amcham Haiti serves as a reliable source of information on regional trade and investment issues, a critical point of communication between the Amchams in the region, members of the US Chamber of Commerce, and the US government. Amcham Haiti is a vehicle for companies based in the US to invest in Haiti, find partners and opportunities. We act as a coordinator of face-to-face interaction between business and government leaders in the country.

Advancing Business in Haiti

For over 30 years the American Chamber of Commerce in Haiti has been an influential voice of U.S. business in Haiti. Today, joined together with the other Amchams in Latin America under the umbrella of the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America and the Caribbean (AACCLA) these 24 Amchams represent more than 20,000 companies and over 80% of U.S. investment in Latin America.

Working in partnership with the US Chamber of Commerce (the world’s largest business federation) and AACCLA, Amcham Haiti is the advocate for US Business in Haiti.
