The Dominican Republic is identified as a transshipment point for Chinese products.

A White House report released on Thursday identifies approximately 40 nations, including the Dominican Republic, as transshipment points for goods originating primarily from China. These countries are being utilized to reroute products into the United States in an effort to circumvent existing trade tariffs.

The report highlights a global trend where trade partners serve as intermediaries to bypass U.S. import duties. By routing Chinese goods through these third-party countries, entities seek to avoid the financial impact of tariffs imposed on direct imports from China.
