The Government's decision to restrict from 1 October 2015, road transport to 23 products coming from the Dominican Republic, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-15156-haiti-notice-import-ban-by-road-of-certain-products-from-dr.html now allowing the import of these products only by sea or air, for better control, has obtained the full support of the Association of Industries of Haiti (ADIH).

In a statement ADIH congratulates the government, especially Wilson Laleau, the Ministry of Economy and Finance "for these new measures taken to combat fraud and smuggling raging in the border area."

The association points out "outside the revenues that will be collected by the tax authorities, these provisions will help to promote investment, thus job creation."

Additionally, ADIH, wishes the local producers, harmed by the fraud and smuggling whose products are not on the list of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, contact their employer organizations to pursue this approach.

"ADIH reiterates its support for the measures taken and hopes that the progressive sectors of the country will adhere to it," concluded Carl-Frédéric Madsen, President of the Association of Industries of Haiti.
