Bringing my cars

I'll take a wild guess and say

About 100% of their cost..give or take a few thousand--pesos.

You had best consult with some of the other board members that have successfully brought in vehicles. Get their references and go from there.

This is usually considered to be a major hassle, but I have seen threads that relate of doing this with excellent results.

Try a "search" on this site and see what you come up with...

Try "Importing a car" and see....Can't hurt.

Importing cars in the DR

Believe that a lot depends on where you live today ( since the last couple of years) and if you want to return to the DR to live there again . I thought that if you had a car more than two years and it's for your proper use that the rules are somewhat different ..but for really knowing it send your question to a well established customs broker and if you really want to bring these cars in he could and will give you a pretty close estimate

Im moving to DR soon, I am a natural born citizen of Santo Domingo, I have a 4cyl 2002 camry, and a 4 cyl Tacoma single cab, I've had both since they were brand new, two years plus, I have no liens on either, how much should I expect to pay induvidually for tax under the year law.

From what I hear bringing a car in the DR is a headache, hassle and a ripoff.

Too bad you just miss the election
Some friends tell me that during election time is the best time to bring in vehicles because any custom fees are waived and the only thing you pay is the shipping costs.

Hey, one thing i was forgetting was that when you are moving to the Dominican Republic for good, you are exempt from any customs fees on your household goods and that includes everything from refrigerators, washer/dryer, cars etc.....I think that all you have to do is obtain what they call an exonerado/waiver from the DR customs unless they changed the laws about these waivers.

Actually, I believe its one or the other, they let you bring in your house stuff or a car....might be better off asking a lawyer.

why not sell your cars before moving, then buy used cars once you get to the DR? I think it would be better solution.

As far as I know with the one year ownership law, you are only allowed to transport one vehicle and get a tax discount. You should contact the Domican Consulate for more information. If you are in New York or New Jersey just ask any Dominican, you will run into someone who has done it. Also, try www.monteroshipping.com I think they transport door to door.

Los documentosque debe presentar son los siguientes :

The person who handed this over to me told me as we were also talking about cars that I would gain some money importing it from Europe ...Cost of a container was at that time around 2,500 USD (ex Spain ) ...believe that the same rules apply and that the same paperwork were needed for importing a car as for importing household ..

Hope this helps somewhat
