The Dominican Republic is the largest economy in the Caribbean and Central America, serving as a major trading partner for the United States under the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). The country is a significant exporter of medical devices, cigars, apparel, and agricultural products, while importing petroleum, industrial machinery, and consumer goods. Its extensive free trade zone network makes it a key hub for manufacturing and re-export operations in the region.
Under CAFTA-DR, the vast majority of US goods enter the Dominican Republic duty-free, and most Dominican exports to the US also receive duty-free treatment, provided they meet the agreement's rules of origin requirements.
The Dominican Republic's leading exports to the US include medical instruments and devices, cigars and tobacco products, apparel and textiles, gold, and cocoa products.
The Dominican Republic operates one of the largest free trade zone systems in the Caribbean, hosting hundreds of companies in sectors such as textiles, footwear, electronics, and pharmaceuticals that manufacture goods primarily for export.
