COMPANIA AGRICOLA INDEPENDENCIA SA, an exporter of fresh plantains from the Dominican Republic, has demonstrated a focused but reliable trade pattern, delivering two shipments (≈24 t each) to the United States in early 2023 and late 2023 via Port Everglades, FL. Both consignments used consistent HS Codes 080719/080710, originated from Santo Tomas loading facilities, and were shipped to a single major buyer, DEL MONTE FRESH PRODUCE, indicating a stable demand channel for high‑quality tropical fruit. For prospective buyers, the company offers a niche, season‑driven supply with clear product specifications (plantains in ventilated, temperature‑controlled containers) and a proven ability to meet US import requirements. Customs brokers will find predictable documentation, repeat HS‑code usage, and fixed loading‑unloading routes that facilitate smooth clearance and reduced inspection risk, supporting efficient cross‑border operations.
