What is the Caribbean Economic Corridor?
The Caribbean Economic Corridor is a structured pathway that allows companies to manufacture in the Dominican Republic under free zone incentives and export to the United States duty-free through CAFTA-DR. It reduces shipping time, lowers tariff exposure, and improves operational control compared to overseas supply chains. Companies operating within Dominican Republic free zones benefit from 100% tax exemption on profits, imports, and exports under Law 8-90, with 2–4 day shipping to U.S. east coast ports via a proven nearshore manufacturing strategy.
