Shipping from Dubai
to Dominican Republic.

Yes. The car goes inside a container, sealed and protected, and we handle the export paperwork in Dubai. Dominican Republic sets its own rules on vehicle age, specification and approval, and duty on a vehicle is worked out differently from general cargo, so tell us the make, model and year first and we will confirm what applies before you commit.

Only if it is five years old or less. Used vehicles more than five years old are prohibited from ordinary import under current customs guidance, and vehicles with salvage or specified prohibited title conditions are restricted regardless of age. The vehicle year follows the customs calendar the authority uses, so a car that looks borderline may not qualify. Send us the make, model, year and title status before you buy.

Sea freight takes about 30 to 38 days into Caucedo on a current lane source, which makes this the quickest arrival in Central America and the Caribbean on our network. Air freight is around seven days, connecting rather than flying direct. We give you a date in writing when we quote.

Caucedo or Rio Haina. Caucedo is the deep water container and transhipment gateway serving Santo Domingo and the east. Rio Haina is the major container, breakbulk and general cargo gateway for the capital region and the south. The Port of Santo Domingo is an urban ferry and cruise port rather than a main container gateway, though pages on this lane often name it as though it were.

Caucedo for pure container cargo and anything heading east. Rio Haina for breakbulk, general cargo, or anything going west and south from the capital. The island is compact so the road leg is short from either, and the decision is really about what kind of cargo you have rather than the map.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in the Dominican Republic it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight is priced on weight or size, whichever is greater. Send us the details and we send you a price in writing, usually the same day.

All of them. Santo Domingo, Santiago de los Caballeros, San Pedro de Macoris, La Romana, San Cristobal, Puerto Plata, Higuey, La Vega, San Francisco de Macoris, Bani, Moca, Bonao, Azua, Barahona, Mao and Nagua. Just give us the address and we bring it to the door.

Yes. Commercial importers must be registered with the customs authority so they can carry out transactions through the national customs system. It sits with your buyer rather than the cargo, so we confirm it before you book rather than when the container has landed.

Most ordinary products do not need a separate general import licence, which makes this simpler than several neighbouring countries. Regulated products such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and agricultural goods do need permits or registrations from the relevant authority. Send us the HS code and we will tell you which applies.

Yes, and it is a real part of what moves on this lane. For urgent resort and hospitality cargo, air into Punta Cana saves the road leg from Santo Domingo entirely. For volume, sea into Caucedo and a road leg east usually works out better. Resort supply tends to run best as a planned repeating shipment. Tell us what you need and how often.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to the Dominican Republic door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs, and bring them to your address. You deal with one company for the whole journey.

You can send as little as one box or one pallet. We put small shipments from different customers into one shared container. This is called LCL, or less than container load. Your goods load at Jebel Ali and come into Caucedo. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. We will tell you which one is cheaper.

Yes, at both ends. We handle customs clearance in Dubai and customs clearance in the Dominican Republic. You do not need to find your own clearing agent.

Yes. We collect anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. We can also hold your goods in warehousing and storage in Dubai until you are ready to ship. That helps when you are buying from several suppliers and want everything to travel to Caucedo in one container.

Yes. We move project cargo to the Dominican Republic as well. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship. Rio Haina handles breakbulk and general cargo that does not suit a pure container terminal. Send us the size and weight and the delivery town.

There are specific legal regimes for household moves and for residence related vehicle imports, and eligibility depends on your status rather than being automatic. We would rather check your exact position than describe it loosely. Tell us your situation, how long you have been away and what you are bringing, and we will confirm before you ship.
