Where we serve in Hato Mayor
The provincial capital is Hato Mayor del Rey, with Sabana de la Mar on Samaná Bay and El Valle in the highlands among the other municipalities. The province links the East with the Samaná peninsula by road and with Santo Domingo through Monte Plata and San Pedro de Macorís. We deliver to the towns, the farms and the coast.
Ports and airports for Hato Mayor
The province has no major container terminal of its own, so ocean cargo normally arrives at Caucedo or La Romana and continues inland by truck. Air cargo can use Las Américas (SDQ) or Punta Cana (PUJ). Because some routes into the interior are rural, we plan the truck and the delivery window with the receiver.
The local economy and what moves through Hato Mayor
Cattle ranching and dairy, cacao, rice, fruit and root crops are the heart of the economy, with commerce concentrated in Hato Mayor del Rey and some tourism around Sabana de la Mar and the nature areas. Agricultural supplies and building materials are common imports.
Importing to Hato Mayor from anywhere in the world
Ranchers and farmers import tools, fencing, irrigation, packaging and inputs; shops bring in goods from abroad; and families receive barrels, boxes and vehicles. We deliver to Hato Mayor del Rey, Sabana de la Mar, El Valle and the countryside.
Exporting from Hato Mayor to the world
Cacao, fruit, rice and other farm products can be collected from the farm or a collection point and booked through Caucedo or La Romana. We prepare the commercial invoice and export declaration, and coordinate phytosanitary or organic certificates if the buyer needs them.
Pickup and delivery across Hato Mayor
Hato Mayor is a rural province where the road network is the main planning factor. The town of Hato Mayor del Rey is easy to reach, but cattle ranches, cacao farms and the communities around El Valle and Sabana de la Mar are reached by secondary roads that can be slow after rain. A full trailer cannot always get to a farm gate, so we ask about the access first, and when it makes sense we use a smaller vehicle for the final stretch. We also ask for a reference point and a local phone number, since many rural addresses are described by landmarks, and we build the schedule around the actual road, not around the distance on the map.
Getting your Hato Mayor shipment ready
Farmers and ranchers importing tools, equipment, packaging or inputs should send the invoice, packing list, weights and dimensions early, and tell us who receives and unloads at the farm. Shop owners in Hato Mayor del Rey should give us the receiving hours. Families getting barrels, boxes or household moves should send the full contents list and the receiver's identification details. If you are exporting cacao or other farm products, talk to your buyer about quality and packaging first, tell us the volume and frequency, and ask us before shipping about any certificate the destination country may require.

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 weightMode 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.
