windeguy, lets be fair. Yes it is about the DR but O/C opened the door by making a comparison of the DR poor to the USA poor or actually used the USA poor as a reference point to judge the DR poor. The USA was referenced by O/C's first. Why can't Pichardo use the USA as a bases for comparison? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

That is saying two wrongs, O/Cs post and Pichardo's post, make a right. Neither matter when referring to the US as anything but a potential origin for used clothing. The DR and how it treats imports of used clothing is the subject.

If new clothing is marked as used to escape from duties, then customs should do their jobs and prosecute people importing them. (I could ask, How do other countries do it, but I won't.) Customs will of course opt for the easy way out if they can and say that all new clothes coming in will be taxed at the rate for new clothes which is the easiest solution for their problem and would probably cut down on the fraud.
