The Dominican government imposes high import duties and taxes on many IT and tech products, which can increase the cost of these goods for consumers and businesses. Dominica’s infrastructure and logistics are not well-developed, which can make it difficult to import goods efficiently and cost-effectively. The Dominican customs clearance process can be slow and bureaucratic, which can add to the time and cost of importing goods.
Despite these challenges, there are a number of opportunities for the IT and tech sector in this North American nation. The government’s focus on ICT, the growing demand for IT services, and the increasing use of technology by businesses and consumers all create opportunities for growth.
