Dominican Republic: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Dominican Republic is the fifth largest market for U.S. consumer oriented products in the Western Hemisphere, after Canada, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, with exports reaching $451 million in 2015. The U.S.-Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) has proved to be successful in strengthening the U.S. competitive position, and consumer oriented product sales have increased by 200 percent since the implementation of the agreement. There are still many opportunities for growth in sales to the Dominican market.
