Shipping to Samaná and export from Samaná, Dominican Republic

Where we serve in Samaná

The provincial capital is Santa Bárbara de Samaná. The other municipalities are Sánchez and Las Terrenas, and the peninsula also includes communities such as Las Galeras. Between the bay, the beaches and the hills, there are hotels, villas, restaurants, farms and fishing villages. We deliver and collect in the towns, the beach areas and the rural communities.

Ports and airports for Samaná

Samaná El Catey International Airport (AZS) is in the province and serves international flights, and there is also Arroyo Barril (DAB) on the peninsula. Samaná has a bay and a cruise port, but for general cargo most containers arrive through Puerto Plata or Caucedo and are trucked in, depending on the carrier and the origin. We confirm the routing with you at booking and do not promise one fixed path.

The local economy and what moves through Samaná

Tourism drives the province: hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants, boat tours and, in the winter months, humpback whale watching in the bay. Construction and real estate development support it. Coconut is a traditional crop of the peninsula, with cacao, fishing and small farming also present. Because many businesses serve visitors, there is steady demand for hospitality supplies and building materials.

Importing to Samaná from anywhere in the world

Hotels, villas and restaurants import furniture, appliances, kitchen equipment, linens and décor; builders bring in finishes, fixtures and materials; shops and distributors restock; and families and residents receive barrels, boxes and household moves, including from the United States and Europe. We coordinate customs clearance and delivery to the site, whether it is a hotel in Las Terrenas or a house on a hillside road.

Exporting from Samaná to the world

Producers and businesses in Samaná export coconut products, cacao, crafts and other goods, and individuals ship personal items overseas. We handle pickup on the peninsula, the invoice and packing list, the export declaration and the booking, and we advise on packing for long transit and on any certificate the destination country requires.

Pickup and delivery across Samaná

The peninsula has one main road in and out, and delivery times depend on the route to the site. A villa above Las Terrenas or a lot near Las Galeras may need extra planning for access, and we ask for exact directions and a local contact. In whale season and holiday weeks, traffic is heavier, and we take that into account when we book trucks and appointments.

Getting your Samaná shipment ready

For construction and hospitality shipments, send the packing list early with weights and dimensions, and tell us who will unload on site. Residents moving to Samaná should ask us about the documents before the container leaves. For exports, ask your buyer for their requirements first, so we can pack and document the shipment correctly from the start.
