Dominican Republic import

Customs and import context

Customs authority and filings

Imports are cleared by Dominican customs (Dirección General de Aduanas, DGA). The importer of record (or its broker) files the declaration; Anxin coordinates but does not act as importer.

Registrations and filings are confirmed with the importer's customs broker.

Import taxes to expect by name: import duty and ITBIS. Rates and duties are confirmed by the importer's broker for the exact product classification.

Languages and documents

Official or main business languages: Spanish. Commercial invoice, packing list and battery descriptions should use the product names the importer will declare.

Local-language port names on file (confirm spelling on your documents): Caucedo: Puerto Caucedo; Rio Haina: Puerto Río Haina.
