Hello, everyone. I just got my first temporary residency in the country and I would like to bring a container with personal stuff (furniture, appliances etc.). As I understood there is a law , if you move here you can brig one container and one car with no tax or discounted tax. Has anyone actually done it?

I have. There are numerous hoops to jump through.

You may want to cinsult with an experienced local mudanza. There are numerous, especially in Santo Domingo.

I used Aquino and Associates and were very pleased.

BTW: you have six months to do it, starting with when you got your residency.

Does the car have to be registered or owned by the person for x number of months under this residency program?

About the 6 month to do it. For instance if its more than 6 month I have my residency, next year I change it, basically if I didn't use my right for a tax free container first year can do it second or the third?

Yes. One year, I believe.

And once brought in it must remain in your name for 3 years, I believe. Any sale prior to that and the full tax will be collected.

Perhaps someone who has recently done it will comment further.

It's because it's in the price Charlise you just didn't know it... all shippers file to Canada customs and arriving country declared and duties paid...we had problem in Canada with stolen cars and cars with loans leaving Country ,no more..all responsibilities fall on shipper including liabilities they price you all in Canada

She shipped from Laval, Québec, Canada, to Sabaneta de Yasica.
She used a company owned by a Dominican living in Laval.

She had the furniture of a 2 bedroom apt. No appliances as I had all mines here in the house. She paid $ 4,500 CDN. That included all the packaging and wrapping done by them, pick-up, loading in the container, boat transport, etc... to finally delivery to our door. She had nothing to do.

Maybe the taxes were included in the price as someone said. But I know that once she paid the 4,500 $, she did not give another cent, except a tip to the guys who unloaded the truck here at the house.

That's about what I paid, in total, to bring my stuff---more than a 2BR apartment---to the DR from FL, and I paid all taxes through my shipper at the port. I paid each charge separately.

So your friend most likely did, indeed, pay the taxes. She just didn't know it because they were embedded.
