Any tips on how to avoid unjustified "import fees" on items like a guitar in a hard guitar case when we arrive? Probably into Puerto Plata.
I just had two acoustics come in a shipment last week and there wasn't any problems. However, I also had a zoom-box packed for my electric and on the inventory list it was translated as "procesadora" (something like that), and the agents spent most of their time searching for this item as it brought much interest to them. My wah-wah pedal was another item they were "hot" for. Both these items were taxed astronomically and I would suggest leaving these items OUT of any inventory list for an incoming shipment. Maybe put down "accessory" as a general term.
