The Dominican Republic Center for Exports and Investment (CEI-RD) is sending a mission to the United States to find ways to reduce the detention of Dominican containers at US ports of entry. Eddy Martinez, director of CEI-RD, said that after careful inspection those products are eventually allowed to enter the country. Diario Libre writes that in this year alone 863 shipments of Dominican merchandise have been stopped at US ports because they used products not permitted by US Customs. The announcement was initially made after reports came out that China was using the DR as a way to clean up its image regarding rejected imported merchandise. Diario Libre reported that China had released a press report defending itself against allegations about the hazardous products that had entered the US and revealed that in the last year Dominican products have been denied entrance into the US more than 800 times because they contained illegal pesticides.
