Le informamos que la Dirección General de Aduanas (D.G.A.) anunció la aplicación de la facilidad de "Gracia Navideña" desde el 1ro. de diciembre 2020 al 7 de enero de 2021, con motivo de la celebración de la Navidad y Año Nuevo.

La misma contemplada en la Ley 9-96, libera de todo tipo de impuestos de importación los regalos que traigan o envíen al país los residentes en el extranjero a familiares y amigos con valor hasta US$3,000.

Here is the actual document setting out the measures. I think it is intended for people who are flying in to visit people, bringing gifts in their luggage. I don't think it would work for someone who already lives here who wants to import something via a shipping company like CPS.

Paul.... it reads send or bring

los regalos que traigan o envíen al país

Remember BMCargo sent the notice to their customers

The law is for residents that have been outside the country a min of 6 months and are returning, they qualify for the 3000 tax exemption..... Maybe BM Cargo is trying to bark up some new business by misleading their clients....oh no never in the DR.....
