I am moving to Bavaro area approx. October this year. I will not be applying for my residency papers until I arrive (for some stupid reason I did not do this the last 100 times I was there).
I understand with the residency papers I am entitled to ONCE bring my personal goods in duty & tax free.
I am planning on storing my goods back here in Canada until I receive my residency papers, then giving the moving company the go ahead and ship them.
However, I was just wondering if anyone knows what the duty & taxes are like if you do not have your residency papers, like are they outragous or so-so.
I ask this, as I am wondering if it would be worth my while just to ship it when I leave Canada, and pay the taxes when it arrives in Dominican, or pay for my storage costs here in Canada for 3-4 months.
Any input is appreciated.
