Shipping to Dajabón and export from Dajabón, Dominican Republic

Dajabón is a border province in the northwest, known for its rice, plantain and cattle, and for the binational market held in the town of Dajabón on the border with Haiti. It is inland, so cargo reaches it by truck from the main gateways. We import into Dajabón from anywhere in the world and export from it worldwide, and our service covers the whole province, not only the capital.

Where we serve in Dajabón

The provincial capital is Dajabón.

We collect and deliver in the towns, on the plains and on the rural roads.

Ports and airports for Dajabón

Dajabón has no seaport of its own. The closest seaport for general cargo is Manzanillo, in Monte Cristi province, and some containers arrive through Puerto Plata or Caucedo and are trucked in. Cibao International (STI) is the usual airport for air cargo. We choose the routing according to the carrier, the cargo and the schedule, and we confirm it at booking instead of promising a fixed path.

The local economy and what moves through Dajabón

Rice, plantain, banana, beans, cattle and dairy are the base of the rural economy, and the town of Dajabón has a busy commercial sector tied to the border trade. Construction, transport and small industry supply the area. Imports focus on farm inputs, building materials, appliances and consumer goods, and exports focus on agricultural products.

Importing to Dajabón from anywhere in the world

Farmers and traders import tools, machinery, packaging and inputs; shops, wholesalers and distributors bring in stock; builders import materials and fixtures; and families receive barrels, boxes, vehicles and household moves from relatives overseas. Cargo clears customs and is trucked to the warehouse, the farm, the shop or the house, with a receiving contact confirmed in advance.

Exporting from Dajabón to the world

Producers and businesses export rice, plantain, banana and other agricultural goods, and individuals send personal shipments overseas. We handle collection in the province, the invoice and packing list, the export declaration and the booking, and we advise on the packing and certificates that agricultural products often need for the destination country.

Pickup and delivery across Dajabón

Dajabón is far from Santo Domingo, and the market days in the town can mean heavy traffic and tight streets for trucks. We schedule pickups and deliveries around those hours, and we ask for exact directions and a local phone number for farms and warehouses outside the town. When access is narrow, we arrange a smaller vehicle for the final stretch.

What affects your price

Every shipment is priced on its own details. These are the factors a freight agent looks at when preparing your quote.

Estimate volume and weight
  • Mode of transport

    Ocean (LCL or FCL), air or RORO. Air is fastest; ocean is usually the most economical for heavy or bulky cargo.

  • Volume and weight

    Ocean freight is mostly priced by volume (CBM); air freight by actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater.

  • Origin and destination

    The ports or airports involved, the distance, and current carrier schedules and surcharges on that lane.

  • Container type

    A 20', 40', 40' high cube, reefer, flat-rack or open-top container each has its own cost.

  • Customs clearance

    Duties and taxes are set by the authorities, not by us, and depend on the goods, their value and their classification.

  • Cargo insurance

    Optional coverage is based on the declared value of your goods.

  • Pickup and door delivery

    Collecting at your door or delivering to an address adds trucking, compared with port-to-port or drop-off.
