Dominican Republic: Exporter Guide Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   DR2024-0009
The Dominican Republic (DR) is ranked among the top three destination markets in the Western Hemisphere and within the top 12 markets globally for U.S. consumer-oriented products. In 2023, U.S. exports of consumer-oriented products to DR topped $1 billion, 1 percent higher year-on-year primarily due to strong demand from foreign tourism and the retail sector. During the first four months of 2024, U.S. consumer-oriented exports reached over $384 million, up 1 percent relative to the same period last year. While trade in the consumer-oriented category continues to expand, the United States is on pace to continue strengthening its position as the top supplier of consumer-oriented agricultural products to the Dominican Republic, capturing over 45 percent share of the import market.
