Customs head Miguel Cocco Guerrero has ordered all Customs collection offices to stay open extra hours to ensure that the traditional extra influx of merchandise for the holidays can be processed quickly. In a circular issued to collectors in all seven airports (Las Américas, Cibao, Herrera, Gregorio Luperón-Puerto Plata, Maria Montez-Barahona, Punta Cana and La Romana) and eight ports (Boca Chica, Dajabón, Haina Oriental, Jimaní, Occidental, Puerto Plata, La Romana and Santo Domingo), Cocco ordered the offices to extend their operating hours to 9 pm.
