Air freight to the Dominican Republic: frequently asked questions

How much does air freight to the Dominican Republic cost?+

Air cargo is priced by chargeable weight (the greater of actual and volumetric weight), urgency and destination fees. We quote each shipment on its weight, dimensions and deadline, and confirm the final rate within one business day. Volumetric weight is length x width x height in cm divided by 6,000 (IATA standard), so a 100 x 100 x 100 cm box (1 m³) is charged as 167 kg.

How long does air freight to the Dominican Republic take?+

Typical transit: 1-3 business days. We confirm the exact departure when you quote. Miami to Santo Domingo (SDQ) is the fastest lane at 1 to 3 days, against about 3 days for LCL from Miami to Río Haina and 4 to 8 days for FCL to Caucedo or Río Haina.

Which airports in the Dominican Republic does Interworld Freight serve?+

Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) in Santo Domingo, Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), Cibao International Airport (STI) in Santiago. SDQ is the main cargo airport and the landing point for most air freight, while Cibao (STI) serves the northern manufacturing belt.

Which documents do I need for air freight to the Dominican Republic?+

You need a commercial invoice, packing list and air waybill, the importer's RNC with DGII and registration with the DGA, and for US-made goods the DR-CAFTA certification of origin. A licensed customs agent files the Declaración Única Aduanera (DUA) in SIGA. ITBIS is 18% (16% on some items), and pharma, agricultural products and agrochemicals need licences. We prepare all three for you, and any permits restricted commodities need are confirmed when you quote.

Should I ship by air or by ocean to the Dominican Republic?+

Air to SDQ is best under 2 CBM and for urgent or high-value freight; LCL from Miami fits 2 to 15 CBM, and a 20ft FCL wins above 15 CBM. The IWF published LCL rate to Río Haina is about $635 for 5 CBM / 1,500 kg (October 2026), excluding duty and ITBIS. Consolidating several US suppliers into one entry means one DUA and one set of broker charges. Many clients combine both: tell us your deadline and we quote the best mix.

Are there direct air freight routes to the Dominican Republic?+

Yes, we offer direct routes to Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, and Santiago from major international airports. Direct and connecting routings are priced differently, so the quote states the routing and transit time for comparison.

What types of goods can be shipped via air freight to the Dominican Republic?+

Electronics, medical supplies, perishable food, fashion, and urgent documents are ideal for air shipping. Medical supplies and perishable food need import approvals from DIGEMAPS or the Ministry of Agriculture, issued through the VUCERD single window before the cargo flies.

Can I track my air freight shipment to the Dominican Republic?+

Yes, all shipments come with real-time tracking options. Tracking is by air waybill number: the 11-digit AWB, a 3-digit airline prefix plus 8 digits, shows departure, arrival and release milestones in the airline's cargo system.
