Shipping to Santo Domingo and export from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo province wraps around the capital and holds a big share of the country's logistics and industry: the Caucedo container terminal, Las Américas International Airport and the free zones beside them. We import into every municipality and export from it to any destination.

Where we serve in Santo Domingo

The province covers Santo Domingo Este, Santo Domingo Norte, Santo Domingo Oeste, Los Alcarrizos, Boca Chica, Pedro Brand and San Antonio de Guerra. Dense residential districts sit next to industrial parks, wholesale markets and the beach town of Boca Chica, and we deliver to all of them, from apartments to loading docks.

Ports and airports for Santo Domingo

Caucedo and Las Américas (SDQ) both sit on the southeastern edge of the province, near Boca Chica, so the inland leg is short for much of the cargo. Haina is a drive to the west and handles a good share of the rest. We choose the port by carrier, cargo type and the next sailing, and air freight goes through SDQ.

The local economy and what moves through Santo Domingo

Free-zone manufacturing, warehousing, wholesale distribution, light industry and construction supply fill the industrial parks along the Autopista Las Américas and the Autopista Duarte corridor. Many companies here import raw materials and export finished goods, so one forwarder handling both directions saves coordination.

Importing to Santo Domingo from anywhere in the world

Households receive barrels, boxes, vehicles and moves from abroad. Businesses bring in inputs, machinery, packaging, retail stock and spare parts from the USA, Canada, Europe, China, Panama and Latin America, shipped as full containers or consolidated, with customs coordinated and delivery to your door or dock.

Exporting from Santo Domingo to the world

Industrial and free-zone exporters send finished goods, components and samples out through Caucedo or SDQ. We arrange pickup at the plant or warehouse, the booking, the export declaration and any certificate the buyer's country requires, for ocean or air shipments to anywhere in the world.

Pickup and delivery across Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo province is large, and a delivery in Boca Chica is a very different trip from one in Pedro Brand or Los Alcarrizos. The main highways carry heavy truck and commuter traffic at peak hours, and some neighborhoods have streets too narrow for a full trailer. We plan each stop by area, ask for a reference point and a local phone number, and combine nearby deliveries when it makes sense so the truck is not crossing the province more times than it needs to.

Getting your Santo Domingo shipment ready

Importers in the industrial parks should send the invoice, the packing list, the product descriptions and any permits as soon as they have them, and tell us the receiving dock and its hours. Families sending barrels, boxes or vehicles should give us the exact delivery sector and the name of the person who will receive. Exporters should tell us the pickup address and the cut-off dates they are working against, so we can book realistically.

Frequently asked questions

Is Caucedo really in Santo Domingo province?

Yes. The Caucedo terminal and Las Américas airport are on the southeastern edge of the province, near Boca Chica. That keeps the trip from the dock to many local warehouses short.

Can you deliver in Los Alcarrizos, Santo Domingo Norte or Pedro Brand?

Yes. We cover every municipality in the province, including Santo Domingo Este, Norte and Oeste, Los Alcarrizos, Boca Chica, Pedro Brand and San Antonio de Guerra.

Can free-zone companies use you for imports and exports?

Yes. Free-zone companies also follow their operator's procedures, so we coordinate with your logistics team to match them and keep the paperwork aligned for each shipment.

What is the difference between the Distrito Nacional and Santo Domingo province?

The Distrito Nacional is the capital city itself, and the province surrounds it. Both share the same ports and airport, and we serve each one with its own page.

Can I export a container of finished goods from the province?

Yes. Tell us the product, volume and destination in the quote form. We book the container, arrange pickup and prepare the export documents, then confirm the schedule with the carrier.

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.
