Today online marketplaces are becoming a very important trade tool for marketing and business-to-business or business-to-customer transactions. Export Portal, the leading global B2B and B2C marketplace, helps global businesses or simple buyers connect with suppliers all over the world including the United States, China, Korea and many other countries. The Dominican Republic buyers/importers can search and contact manufacturers and suppliers safely and easily by categories and keywords.
The Dominican Republic is a part of the Caribbean countries. It is noteworthy that numerous free trade zones make the country an attractive hub to import/export businesses. Throughout most of its history, the Dominican Republic's economy was heavily dependent on the production and export of sugarcane. Sugarcane is still one of the main cash crop grown in the nation, with cocoa and coffee being the other biggest export crops. The same applies to clothing industry which brings in the majority of export revenues.
The Dominican Republic mostly exports ferronickel, cigars, plastics, electrical equipment, bananas, jewelry, medical equipment, clothing, scrap metals and beverages.

Export/Import Requirements
The Dominican Republic uses the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) for commodity classification, the basic import tax ranging from 0% to 40%. Dominican tariffs are bound by the WTO standards for all commodities, with the exception of the following eight agricultural commodities for which tariff rate quotas have been established: rice, sugar, chicken parts, pork, corn, onions, milk powder and garlic. With the exception of pharmaceutical products (including cosmetics, skin care products and drugs), most products do not require specific import licences. The Ministry of Health issues import licences for pharmaceutical products, which are valid for a period of five years.
The export/import documentation should be in Spanish or accompanied by a Spanish translation, and should include the following:
- transportation document (air waybill or bill of lading)
- commercial invoice
- packing list

- certificate of origin (for some products)
Imports into free trade zones do not require import licences or customs duties.
