I was in an EPS office this morning and had the girl call the main office to find out about the holiday Customs Policy.
It DOES NOT apply to shipped items. Only for a Dominican that has been out of the DR for six months or more, and must be brought in, not shipped.
So anyone ordering things on Black Friday the limit for no duty is still under $200 US. Also I was told that if you receive multiple packages the same day they add it up and if it is over the limit you pay duty.
I just received a cell phone I ordered from China. They put on the package Gift for $30 US. I never requested this as the phone was under 200 anyway. But I believe if sellers put lower prices on goods this may work also.
