Shipping to San Juan and export from San Juan, Dominican Republic

San Juan is one of the great farming provinces of the country, often called the breadbasket of the south for its beans, rice, peanuts and other crops grown in the San Juan valley. It is inland and has no port, so the trucking leg connects it with the main gateways. We import into San Juan from anywhere in the world and export from it worldwide, and our service covers the whole province, not just the capital.

Where we serve in San Juan

The provincial capital is San Juan de la Maguana, a large commercial town in the valley. Other municipalities include Las Matas de Farfán, Bohechío, El Cercado, Juan de Herrera and Vallejuelo, with farms and villages between them and mountain communities toward the Cordillera Central. We collect and deliver in the towns, on the plains and on the rural roads.

Ports and airports for San Juan

San Juan has no seaport or international airport. Containers normally arrive through Haina or Caucedo near Santo Domingo and are trucked west along the south road, and air cargo generally uses Las Américas (SDQ). The right gateway depends on the carrier, the origin and the schedule, so we confirm the routing with you at booking and do not promise one fixed path.

The local economy and what moves through San Juan

Agriculture defines the province: beans, rice, peanuts, corn, vegetables and fruit, together with livestock and agro-processing. San Juan de la Maguana is a commercial hub that supplies the whole valley with inputs, machinery, building materials and consumer goods. Because production is large, farmers and traders import irrigation equipment, packaging, tractors, parts and tools.

Importing to San Juan from anywhere in the world

Farmers and cooperatives import tractors, irrigation, tools, packaging and parts; shops, wholesalers and distributors bring in stock; builders import finishes and fixtures; and many families receive barrels, boxes, vehicles and household moves from relatives overseas. Cargo clears customs and is trucked to the farm, the warehouse, the shop or the home, with a receiving contact confirmed in advance.

Exporting from San Juan to the world

Growers and traders export beans, peanuts, fruit 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 the certificates that agricultural products usually require for the destination country.

Pickup and delivery across San Juan

San Juan is far from the ports, and harvest season changes how busy the roads and the warehouses are. A grower near El Cercado or Las Matas de Farfán may be on a narrow road that a full trailer cannot take, so we ask about access before we plan the pickup and arrange a smaller vehicle for the last stretch if needed. We also try to line up collection with when the product is ready.

Getting your San Juan shipment ready

If you export beans, peanuts or other farm goods, talk to your buyer first about quality, packaging and the documents they expect. Tell us the volume, the frequency and the pickup point. For imports of machinery, send the model, dimensions and weight as soon as you have them, since those details decide the truck and the unloading plan.

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.
