The U.S. is by far the Dominican Republic's largest trading partner and its share of the consumer goods imported into the DR is estimated at 70 percent of the total.  And, the Dominican Republic is Florida's 5th largest export market making this an excellent market for Tampa Bay exporters.

To help exporters in the region expand into this promising market, the Tampa Bay Export Alliance is leading a mission to the Dominican Republic on December 5 - 8, 2016. The mission will feature one-on-one customized matchmaking with potential partners. Grants are available to qualified companies.  

Top sectors for Tampa Bay exports include, but are not limited to:  

• Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment
• Automobile Parts and Services
• Agricultural Products
• Building Products
• Hotel and Restaurant Equipment
• Medical Equipment
• Printing and Graphics Arts Equipment and Supplies
• Renewable Energy

If you are interest in learning more about the market potential for your products or services and the mission, please attend a free briefing on Thursday, September 22, 2016.  Briefings are scheduled both in Tampa in the morning or Clearwater in the afternoon.
