Rafael Camilo speaking in the launch.
SANTO DOMINGO.- Dominican Republic’s Customs Agency (DGA) on Wednesday began to formally apply its new Integrated Customs Management System (SIGA), which guarantees security, economy, control and transparency in commercial processes and contributes to expedite the dispatch of merchandise, among others benefits.
Custom director Rafael Camilo called the new system transcendental towards the modernization and efficiency in commercial procedures in ports.
In the ceremony to officially install the new system, Camilo said SIGA aims to initiate “a process to facilitate trade and control illicit actions and at the same time give industrialists and people the efficient processes which we have in Dominican Republic’s Customs.”
“This project, the most important informatics project of any company in the Dominican Republic, is going to allow industrialists and importers, from their very office, to follow up all retrieval or export process of their merchandise,” the official said.
Present in the launch were Korea ambassador Kang Sung Zu; South Korea Exim Bank vice president Wahn Kil Cheng, Hyundai Autoever Systems president Ik Gyo Kim, as well as Customs officials.

Does the Customs Director speak Korean or do these Koreans understand Spanish?
Looks like they are clueless to what is being said. The sitting Dominican customs official appears to be dreaming of when he is spending the skim off the new system on putas y Imperial.

I think the Customs Director is looking at fast-streaming ticker giving him an account of his take of the on-going graft.
He looks amazed, like saying to himself: this is so good that it clearly exceeded my expectations.....never thought making money would be so easy.....that Leonel guys is just great; let's anoint him president-for-life!

At present customs should delay goods as much as possible and demand manximum payments upfront. Vientnam, Thailand are good examples. A dock congestion surcharge is also a good idea to be copied. Perhaps more than the Cayman islasnds - possible 5000 dollars / container. Plus parking, clearance, drug control fees could be increased easily with the new system.
Cutting imports secures the value of the currency - at present dropping against the Euro at an alarming rate. Over 5% in one month! Project 60% in one year.!
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=D....y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=People in DR are protected to some degree by price controls but in the last month some commodities have risen by 25% in peso price e.g. white beans.
However tourism will boom - a friend just back from Itaily, by no means the most expensive country tells me a small 350 ml beer costs the equivalent of 220 pesos in a normal cafe/bar.
DR is becoming a low cost but high class destination.

ABC,
you are nuts we are already paying high import costs. nam and thai have nothing modern. DR needs to keep the costs low so we can start getting rid of old items like the junk taxis and the old appliances..
also, DR is becoming a low costs but high class destination? lol If you consider bavaro the whole country than you are right

The report on beer prices in Italy is verbatim from the previous nights call - a long time good friend ithe likes of which BLut probably dos not have!! High import costs encourage import substitution - good for employment in the current situation - but then some posters would like unemployment to rise to 70% so they could get cheaper domestic help - oh what a chore it is to walk to the fridge to get a beer!
Costs are low throughout the country - a room/suite that might be 400 dollars elsewhere is only 200 dollars in the DR. All other costs are incredibly low taxi fares, restaurants etc. The peso has devalued against the Euro 5% in the last month alone - and prices have not risen that fast.

I used to think "abc" was a communist; now I am convinced he is.
The only thing worse than a communist is a communist who is not running on all cylinders, and we have our own example here.
abc is right. If you raise import cost it will promote local business and manufacturing, which is precisely reason why we manufacture so many "Yippetas" in DR. How can anybody with a sane mind suppose that such a concept would work? Doesn't he understand that there isn't really a free ride, except for those stealing electricity, and that all costs incurred by businesses are passed directly on to the consumer? Following his rather warped theory, everyone would be paying higher prices and have to wait longer for the goods.
Where did abc go to school, if he went to school at all? We need to know so we could put the place out of business immediately and shut it down. This is a good case for why we shouldn't home school our kids.

If you look at your economic history books you will find that the precise region that Japan has a successful electronics industry today is that it made imports of such goods to Japan post-war very difficult. So consumers could not easily buy a GE TV made in the USA but had to buy local even though at the time the local ineffciently produced product was both inferior and more expensive.
When sanctions were applied to S. Africa all sorts of businesses started up - one acquantance of mine started one relining brake shoes and refurbishing disk pads. Another made a simple 'jeep'.
Now S. Africa has a motor industry parts business......
But the worker is really the consumer and if he cannot afford to buy the imported goods because there is no production in the DR....... Buying imported goods will become more expensive with the peso devaluing at 5% a month so importing a VW ( the worlds No. 1 car producer ) will become very expensive.

Pakistan is encouraging local production by giving a wide range of preferences to goods with local content. So if a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer were given preferences would they set up plant here? I am not a communist.......

Miller beer is a good reason to stop TV stations carrying advertising........ In France state TV has adverts have already been prohibited. In UK state TV has no advertisements. World MNC can advertise making huge losses in a market till they succeed in gaining market share. This neither in the long run benefits the target market country or its population as once market share is established prices etc will rise.. In the case of the DR quotas on foreign adverts are needed and in the case of alcohol perhaps no adverts before 9 p.m.

Seems a strange question given your general lack of knowledge of things educational - when you were at shcool you did not heed the warning:
"
And now dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart and ear and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly.
"
http://www.love-poems.me.uk/howitt_the_spider_and_the_fly_funny.htmand since then you have swallowed the corrupt ways of the evil empire hook line and sinker...
The good news is that Mexico is imposing tariffs on US goods because Mex trucks can't operate in the US.
Sounds so good. DR could send over a couple of trucks and when they are detained slap a 30% duty on all US imports.
