shipping?????
If something is old and may have cost in excess of $200, how to they compute the current value. I have a great 42" TV in Florida that was about $500 4 years ago. I would love to ship it here just because it is a better Smart TV than by two TVs I bought here - I don't mind paying CPS the $120 to ship but I don't want to pay taxes on it - that's just my nature
I can't answer with certainty on used -
but know this...
In many cases the gov't has their own chart to value items,,,,
Receipts mean 'zippola'...
their assigned value is the only one.

Just came in from Toronto with a big TV box that cost me $28.00 from public storage . . One 55" one 47 " same box . paid the Porter $150.00 US . ALL of my 8 Pieces of luggage were " Overlooked " Not scanned , not looked at . PP airport . Find a porter as your waiting for your luggage at the belt .
I buy from ebay constantly . CPS provides a Miami shipping address . For small items , including microwave and Slowcooker , they go airfreight from Miami to DR . larger items go by ship from Miami . Ecellent service from CPS . its free to sign up and you pay by the pound .
Tried this a few years back with EPS . Bad idea . Big mistake. Let's just say someone in ADUANA is now enjoying our 55" Smart TV . It mysteriously disappeared after a lot of back and forth with ADUANA. The last we heard from them after several months was " we will let you know how much you have to pay" . Not worth the agro.
That is a surefire solution....
I use the mudanza..... door to door... not that easy from Canada but doable
Most airlines have a max linear measurement of around 60 - 62". Is there an airline that allows larger sizes as checked luggage? I want to ship a 60" flat screen.
I don't think that will happen on a US airline. Canadian, possibly. Most US airlines will not even take boxes to the DR. Contact a door to door shipper and get a price on a TV of that size unless you are coming from Canada.
Well, you're right, but most of them charge $8 per inch - so he's looking at close to $500 to ship a 60" with a mundanza. At that cost, better off buying in DR.
Not necessarily. High end current model larger TV's here are incredibly, stupidly, ridiculously expensive. Almost certainly more than $500 more than for a new TV from the US. If you want to settle for an ABC or XYZ brand TV, then the price will be similar versus importing.
I'm not suggesting this method is for everyone .Also it may be that U.S. airlines are different as to what sizes can be shipped . But , I've been given the field of play , and all things considered , decided to play by DR rules . Worked for me . By the way , this is the second time . 1st time TV fit ( barely ) in luggage and for the Porter , it cost me $1000.00 Pesos to be overlooked .
Peralto Bros ships from Toronto and Montreal to DR door to door no problems used them many times highly trustable..
I have also used Peralta Bros . Shipped a barrel ( supplied by them ) and a Rubbermaid tote . Including Barrell , $200.00 Canadian delivered right to my door here in PP province . They have a website . Peralta Bros. Shipping.
