Shelena,

I imported aa 40 foot container in February 2012. With my residency, I didn't have to pay taxes or customs, but I have the paperwork that shows what they would have been -- a total of RD$88,688.69 -- about half duty and half tax. I did have to pay about RD$8,000 for a desk they said was "commercial, not personal." PM me if you have more questions.

Judy

Hi Judy..
Just wondering if you had a vehicle included with your shipping? We have not started residency yet..early next year but want to iron out the wrinkles ..are you in Puerto Plata area ..where did you ship from?? We are in Canada..
Do you have any recommendations as for a Customs Broker?? any help or advice on this is greatly appreciated.
We have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler and want to figure if it's worth it to bring in the container..Thanks..
