Shipping to Espaillat and export from Espaillat, Dominican Republic

Where we serve in Espaillat

The provincial capital, Moca, is a lively commercial city, and the province also includes Gaspar Hernández and Cayetano Germosén. Gaspar Hernández reaches the northern coast and is close to the beaches near Puerto Plata, while Moca sits on the road between Santiago and San Francisco de Macorís. Roads are good and distances are short.

Ports and airports for Espaillat

Espaillat has no major port of its own, so ocean cargo normally comes through Puerto Plata, the closest, or through Caucedo, and is trucked to the province. Air cargo can use Cibao International (STI), which is a short drive away in Santiago. We confirm the routing at booking.

The local economy and what moves through Espaillat

Moca is known for coffee, cacao, plantains and other crops, along with commerce, a free zone and a strong trading tradition. Building supplies, packaging, equipment and retail goods are typical imports.

Importing to Espaillat from anywhere in the world

Producers import packaging, farm inputs and machinery; the free zone brings in materials; shops and builders stock up from abroad; and families receive barrels, boxes and vehicles. We deliver to Moca, Gaspar Hernández and Cayetano Germosén and the surrounding countryside.

Exporting from Espaillat to the world

Farm products, free-zone goods and personal effects can be picked up locally and shipped through Puerto Plata, Caucedo or STI. We prepare the invoice, packing list and export declaration and coordinate any certificates the buyer requires.

Pickup and delivery across Espaillat

Espaillat stretches from the inland city of Moca to the coast near Gaspar Hernández, and the delivery plan depends on where in that range the cargo is going. Moca is a busy commercial town with traffic in the center and narrow streets in some sectors. Farms and villages around Cayetano Germosén, Jamao al Norte and the hills have narrower roads, and the coast near Gaspar Hernández is reached by the northern highway. We ask for the exact site, the access conditions, a reference point and a local phone number for every stop, and we choose the vehicle to match the road so that a driver does not arrive somewhere that a full trailer cannot enter.

More on freight in Espaillat

Espaillat is also an agricultural province, with cacao, coffee, plantain and dairy as part of the rural economy, so exporters here often ask about packing and certificates. Tell us what you grow or make and where it is going, and we will explain what the shipment needs.

Getting your Espaillat shipment ready

Importers of machinery, packaging, tools and farm inputs should send the invoice, packing list, weights and dimensions as early as possible, and tell us who will receive and unload. Shop owners and businesses in Moca should give us the receiving hours. Farmers and small producers who export should talk to their buyer about quality and packaging first, tell us the volume and the frequency, and ask us before shipping about any certificate the destination requires. Families receiving barrels, boxes or household moves should send a contents list and the receiver's identification details.

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.
