Importing Books
Tiresome Letters
When I brought my books with me (mind you, not really in the thousands...) customs were not interested in them at all.
Maybe because they weren't any porn pictures in them...
Reading stuff is not really their main interest anyway...

I want to ship just the books. I know it will cost a bit in shipping but, well, they're important to me.
Plus I have never located a good book store in the DR.
In CR they taxed the heck out of us on books coming in so am gunshy on the subject in general. They tore the shipment apart looking for whatever. When they didn't find anything but books they still wanted their "mordita" so they just made up a tax. Then we were stuck. Plan ahead, eh?
Home needs can be acquired in-country. Am not into shipping anthing else.
Can't stand the pain.
Is there a decent import broker anyone has employed?
That do-it-yourself mode isn't always a good idea.

^There's plenty of college and Highschool kids that do nothing BUT read novels as a pastimes during recess.
Go to Cuesta,go to La Zona,there bookstores are always packed.
American Novels are hard to find I notice in DR they either sellout quick or are too expensive that would be big business in a small store,near UNIBE,PUCCMM or a bilingual school...
:tired:
So, if say a 1/2 container of used books were imported for resale to the DR, does anyone out there know what the duty on them could/would be? Or can anyone direct me to someplace where that information exists?
Don Polo, Brain Donor, would a SDQ location for English language book sales be the ideal retail spot?
Help me on this: I may just do this as a community service. I can't see that it will make a lot of money but ........
