If the US government does not allow the manufacturer to export their products to Honduras, the manufacturer will lose the non-refundable application fee of $2,700 and because the U. S. government limits trade with Honduras, the manufacturer is required to obtain an export license from the Department of Commerce, which can result to a shortage of demand for US products.

In addition, the total value of product exports must not less than $10800 for the duration of the license so that the application and license fee will be worthwhile.
