We are having difficulty understanding the Dominican port system. Containers registered for import at GATT pricing are held requesting a deposit, then they are charged both parking and central bank fees, on top of an import sales tax, in addition to the already high import charges and levels placed by the Dominican government.
We have been approached to use "customary" side tactics to reduce charges and make the customs process less taxing. Our intention to import, employ and distribute product is being questioned by our almost "forced" coersion into corruption be the port authority in Santo Domingo.
The corruption is incredible and lacks any explication aside form the fact that it must spread to the highest levels to allow it to exist so openly - do you have any suggestions on how to remedy this situation?
