As the process of globalization advances, it significantly increases the number of production units engaged in transactions in foreign markets in search of better business opportunities that allow you to increase the profit margin of their activities. Each transaction abroad is recorded through the customs sources tied to information of interest to decision makers, the amounts related to the country of destination and the type of transaction they perform.
However, these import and export Santo Domingo have no linkage to other sources; therefore trade information can only be exploited, unable to know the characteristics of the exporter and importer. Despite this, all enterprises performing transactions abroad do so through a unique registration number, which in our case is the National Taxpayer Registration (RNC). Knowing that the NSO have done many surveys of information seeking to have the structural characteristics of the enterprises, which are bound by this RNC, makes us think about how to link this information, and what would be the appropriate mechanism to take advantage of customs and business records, and to generate useful information to decision makers. The question that motivates this work came from a more limited interest, which sought to respond to a specific need that some countries, especially in Central America, needed to know what the contribution of MSME sector is in foreign trade, which suffered from lack of response in most countries.
This motivated that the research framework should be extended, as all the elements to characterize not only the micro, small and medium enterprises, but also large companies were possessed. This characterization is important for many reasons. First, it is a use of administrative records in import and export Santo Domingo , at a time when there are more and more budget cuts for the execution and implementation of statistical surveys in the field. Second, it allows for periodic updating of the same, as the update sources is protected by deriving from these records. Third, it identifies specific patterns when meet the export potential of the various products that we place on foreign markets and determine market niches for local industry through knowledge of the plaintiffs of foreign products. Similarly, this knowledge provides an important segmentation when identifying the contribution of key sectors such as the contribution of SMEs to the export market, as well as industrial and agricultural sectors. In short, there are many utilities that can be achieved through the involvement of these sources of information, all necessary for correct decision making in the public and private sector of any nation.
