OK, my mistake, I shouldn't have mentioned the US specifically. I thought most of the Free Zone exports were heading to the states, (this is why the textile industry was in such a crisis when one of the key treaties expired a couple years ago) but it doesn't matter where they were heading since your wife wasn't singling out Americans, she was talking about foreigners in general.

and Contrary to your belief. DR does not do a great deal of bussiness with the US
Its main trading partners are actually in asia and europe......
the only thing that is heavyly traded between the US and DR

The principal trading partner with the U. S. under the Caribbean Basin Initiative, the DR is the fourth largest trading partner of the U.S. in Latin America and the Caribbean, behind Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela. In 2000, it exported US$6.9 billion and imported US$7.5 billion, according to Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) stats.
Yeah, your right on the money again!

What the hell are you guys talking about? Both seem to be saying that the US is a good trading partner of the DR.
I stopped reading the whore thread where this was moved from. I guess I will have to revisit it now that this peaks my interest.

Ding, ding!
Rob is right. The Dominican Republic exports more than 3 times as much to the US as to the next biggest purcharser who is... Puerto Rico. Third one is Haiti.
This according to Cedopex. The ultimate source of data for exports from the DR.

We are talking about this Jazz

I posted my correction on the "whore" thread
Rob is absolutely right...
one question that i have for those that live out there......
when i do go on vacation over there and go to the markets, I notice that alot of the products available are products that are not available in the US, they look european, can some one explain this to me.....
is it the the US exports/imports raw goods and that most of the ready to sell products come from the other trading partners?
i am boggled by this..........

Robert is right, I went into the business section and started reading the thread and had to come back here. You didn't have a clue and made a false statement. Well at least you can now say you learned something instead of teaching the rest of us.
How are those Lucent options doing?

Maybe you went to Carrefour, else I don't understand.
We import more than we export. I work in International Commerce and Transport, I don't have the statistics with me, but I know that the US is also the largest source of imports to the DR.
