Why do declared values matter?

A Dominican Republic record tells you what a shipment was worth, not only how much it weighed. With value and weight on the same declaration, you can size a product market in US dollars, compare unit values (dollars per kilogram) across origin countries, and check whether a supplier's prices sit above or below the rest of the market.

Because CargoFax also distributes Haiti's customs import records, Dominican exports to Haiti can be read against Haiti's imports from the Dominican Republic on the Hispaniola trade data page.

How does Dominican Republic data reach you?

In Atlas, Explorer searches every Dominican Republic declaration, Vault keeps the products and partner countries you follow, and Vault emails you when the monthly release adds matching records.

For teams that load data into their own systems, Files delivers the historical archive and monthly increments by FTP or API in CSV, Excel, JSON, or Parquet.
