I flew PAP-JBQ 2 wks ago and asked a customs human there about duty on TV's. He confirmed what other customs types have said at SDQ: NO DUTY ON TV'S UNDER 32 INCHES. Can be in a box, not in a box, carried loose, in a carry on, etc-makes no difference. Some previous posters have speculated that packaging is a determinant of duty, so I mention this. This fellow also said that there is a book available to the public at the customs HQ on Abraham Lincoln spelling out all the tariffs on imported goods. I wanted to drive my 96 Tracker from Haiti into the DR for short visits but cannot-there is an age restriction on imported vehicles (which I've not seen mentioned on the forum). I think he said 4 model yrs is the limit.
