For the month of March 2026, Haiti’s customs administration collected 12,417,913,134.63 gourdes. The announcement was made on Thursday, April 9, by officials from the Administration Générale des Douanes (AGD) during a new edition of the monthly program “Ann Koze ak Ladwann”.
Reginald Sévère, Director of Legal Affairs at the AGD, indicated that revenues increased compared to March 2025.
“The administration collected 3,138,433,127.35 gourdes more than last year for the same period. This represents a 38.82% year-over-year increase,” he stated.
According to preliminary statistical data from the report “Forecasts and Customs Revenue Performance” for March of last year, a total of 9,310,383,716 gourdes had been collected across customs offices nationwide. At the time, this already represented an 83% increase compared to March 2024, when revenues had reached just over 5 billion gourdes.
Regarding projections set by the Ministère de l’Économie et des Finances (MEF), revenues for March 2026 exceeded expectations by 7%.
“This demonstrates that customs is continuously improving its performance by providing guarantees and facilitation to economic operators,” added the AGD legal affairs director during the conference.
It is worth recalling that, according to Circular No. 001 (reference DAJ/BM/AGD/03-25/00479) issued by the Ministry of Economy and Finance on March 25, 2025, customs offices located along the Haiti–Dominican Republic border are no longer authorized to receive goods originating from abroad via Dominican territory until further notice.
“All goods coming from abroad and transiting through the Dominican Republic must enter Haiti by maritime routes and be handled by the appropriate customs offices,” the circular states. It also instructs border customs officials to seize any goods crossing the border in violation of these measures.
