Hemisphere Novelties is dedicated to providing very low-cost, high quality assembly and processing services to our customers from our factories in the Caribbean. Wage rates in the Caribbean are among the most competitive in the world and that really does give our customers the edge over the competition.

We exist to provide the most efficient and cost effective labor services available anywhere in the world. To succeed we must always:
We Provide:Personnel, Training and Supervision, Facility, Import/Export Documentation, Guaranteed per unit labor cost
You Provide:Raw materials or components, Machinery and Equipment needed
Do I need any special permits or licenses to have my work done in Haiti?
No, your company will not be doing any business in Haiti per se. Your contract will be with Hemisphere Novelties Inc., a U.S. Corporation that already has a relationship with the Haitian company, Leathercraft S.A. . All of the permits and other legal requirements for the transaction will be handled by Hemisphere Novelties Inc.
What types of work can be done in Haiti?
Almost any process or assembly work that can be done in the U.S. can also be done in Haiti. The greatest labor cost savings of course would apply to the most labor intensive jobs. Another consideration would be the cost of shipping the items from your plant to ours and back. The labor savings must be enough to cover the additional cost of freight, therefore, the size of the item to be processed versus the total amount of labor involved must be evaluated.
How do you charge for your services?
The majority of our customers want a per unit labor price however, if you would rather be charged a per labor hour rate we can accommodate you.
Who furnishes the component parts and raw materials?
Generally our customers furnish all of the parts and materials needed to complete their product and we supply the labor.
Are shipping charges included in your price?
No. Our customers control the timing and amounts of material shipped at any one time therefore we have found it to be more equitable for our customers to pay for the freight. We have however, negotiated some very reasonable rates with American Airlines for our customers. Please let us know if you would like for us to assist in this regard.
