The legal consultant of the government Guido Gomez Mazara said that the consular invoice will be history as of this Friday. He said the consular invoice has only served to enrich Dominican consuls, and not much else. A longtime headache to business, the invoice is required to move merchandise. To legalize trade transactions, the consuls charge 25% of the fees in each transaction. Gomez Mazara also announced a reduction of US$30 on the cost of passports issued abroad. Passports for two years will now cost US$90.
