Is teak and mahogany lumber available in DR?

I'm preparing to purchase farm land in DR.....hopefully in the 4 or 5 hundred acre size range. I will be importing considerable farm machinery and tools.......and am wondering if I should bring my portable band saw mill. Recently, while pricing construction lumber in Puerto Plata, I over heard the manager suggest to a local customer, who was complaining about high prices...."Why don't you use teak or mahogany as it is much cheaper" Unfortunately, my Spanish language skills were not suffecient to follow up with conversation.......
My questions:
Is teak or mahogany lumber being sawed anywhere in DR, either from local or imported logs? If so........where and by whom?

Is it legal in DR for a property owner to harvest suffecient trees from his own land to saw lumber for construction use on the same property.......ie. house, barns, etc. ?

Thanks HB for the knowledgable response.....Much Appreciated.
I read a post somewhere in the forums.......that farm equipment
could now be imported duty free.....with advice to contact Senior
Osmar Benitez, VP, Junta Agroempresarial Dominicana.......
Also that a once in lifetime exemption is available for household
goods for those moving to DR.....exemption to include TOOLS....
one uses in his or her occupation. For sure......I will thoroughly
check into exact regulations prior to shipment. I don't think I would cut any Mahogany trees from my own land......as it goes against my instinctive feelings for preservation of ecology. I was thinking more in terms of fast growing pine trees or some such for construction purposes. Perhaps the lumber yard manager in Puerta Plata was just jerking the customer's chain.......for complaining........LOL
