Santo Domingo.- The Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and MSMEs (MICM) welcomed the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) decision to lift the withholding release order (WRO) on Central Romana Corporation, restoring normal access for Dominican sugar to the U.S. market.
The Ministry of Labor highlighted that this move reflects confidence in the Dominican Republic as a key trade partner. Throughout the process, Dominican officials engaged in discussions with the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Trade Representative, and other agencies to address concerns and strengthen international relations.
Minister Víctor Ito Bisonó emphasized that the decision enhances global confidence in the country and aligns with President Luis Abinader’s efforts to promote sustainable and competitive trade. He added that this progress bolsters the nation’s image and expands opportunities for Dominican exports.
