Where we serve in La Romana
The provincial capital, also called La Romana, wraps around the Río Dulce and includes the old town center, the riverside Altos de Chavón village and the resort district of Casa de Campo. Other municipalities are Guaymate and Villa Hermosa. The city is compact, so delivery distances inside the province are short, and the highway links it quickly to San Pedro de Macorís and Higüey.
Ports and airports for La Romana
La Romana has its own port, which makes it a natural entry point for cargo bound for the province and often for the nearby tourist coast. Caucedo is the other option on the Santo Domingo side. Air cargo can use La Romana airport (LRM), which handles private and charter flights, or Las Américas (SDQ). We pick the port and routing that fit the cargo and the carrier schedule.
The local economy and what moves through La Romana
Sugar, through the Central Romana complex, shaped the province, and it is now balanced by tourism at Casa de Campo, by the La Romana free zone, and by commerce serving the city and the nearby tourist coast. Hotels, golf and marina operations, construction and light manufacturing all create steady freight.
Importing to La Romana from anywhere in the world
Businesses import building materials, restaurant and hotel supplies, equipment and spare parts, while residents receive barrels, boxes, vehicles and household moves. Free-zone and industrial operators bring in machinery and inputs, and we coordinate the paperwork in line with their operator's procedures.
Exporting from La Romana to the world
The free zone ships finished goods and components, and local producers send products and personal effects abroad. We pick up in the province, handle the booking at La Romana, Caucedo or the airport, and prepare the invoice, packing list and export declaration.
Pickup and delivery across La Romana
La Romana is compact, which helps, but it has several distinct delivery environments: the city center, the industrial and free-zone area, the sugar and farm land, and the gated resort community of Casa de Campo. Each has its own access rules and receiving hours. We ask which one applies, get the contact and the entry procedure, and plan the truck accordingly so that nothing is turned away at a gate.
Getting your La Romana shipment ready
Resort and hotel suppliers should send the invoice, the packing list and the receiving department's details early. Free-zone companies should tell us the zone's procedures and any pre-notification they need from us. Individuals moving to the province should ask us about documents before the cargo leaves its origin, and exporters should give us the pickup point and the cut-off dates they are working to.

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.
