I’m moving to DR I want to know how I can send my car, furniture and other stuff there.

See the other thread - my post

I think preparing from this end is better

Talk to Hispaniola Freight

You need a freight forwarder for a container

Research, I just googled international movers.

Be careful....

My 1st quote like that $14k...... I did it for $5k

Jade Int'l is the link..... I used Benchmark... have a look

Yes, the international movers mostly serve corporate moves and they are stupid expensive. We did what WillieWeb suggests. You will have to get your stuff to port (e.g. Miami, Houston,....). Shipper takes it from there. Your next concern is having a good import agent in Santo Domingo. Also much preferred to have DR residency; otherwise, they will tax your goods and getting a vehicle through the port may be troublesome.

Local agency is Hispaniola Freight..... I bet they can do the whole thing.

They cleared me coming in - they're great

I can recommend Hispaniola freight. I work with them for my clients.
