Pricing
Prices in STP are expensive because most goods are imported. International transportation costs and high customs duties are considerable factors in pricing goods. The cost of renting a store or warehouse in the capital city is also relatively high.
Sales Service/Customer Support
Good customer service, follow-up services, and inventories can confer a significant competitive advantage in STP.
Due Diligence
American companies are advised to exercise due diligence before engaging in business in STP.
Local Professional Services
Retaining legal counsel is not required, but a local attorney may be best placed to handle many of the routine problems that may arise.
