Dominican Republic: Exporter Guide 2015

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Dominican Republic is now the fifth largest market for U.S. consumer oriented products in the Western Hemisphere, after Canada, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, with exports reaching $485 million in 2014. 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% since the implementation of the agreement. There are still many opportunities for growth in sales to the Dominican market.
