Im sure if you bring more than 4 cellphones per year as you can buy for your direct families they will go after you, specially if you buy every month cellphones, or a lot of the same products, no matter is under the $200.00

do the math Windy
Good stove/fridge from a big US retail store + shipping = easy sell
How could one container have more than 20 appliances in it ??
If not for resell !!??
Full containers of appliances is no coincidence
Say a good stove -- BestBuy for $5-600 + $2-300 to ship
What do they sell for ?
Good fridges here are spendy..... same game.... under $1,000 in USA + shipping
easy resell at $1500 or less
Can someone clarify. Shipments valued 200 USD and above has always been held back until import tax has been paid, at least with DHL, UPS, FedEx. I always ship less than 200 USD and include invoices. I don't ship for retail. Will these new "rules" hold back any shipment any value if I'm not registered? I didn't read all the post so may have missed it if it has been mentioned.
The Big Brother has arrived in RD
What are you shipping in ??
give me your fingers on arrival
All good for those who comply = law abiding people

tht,
Aduanas is threatening to hold packages destined to a client of a courier company if that person has not registered by July 2019. Who knows if Aduanas has the specific legal authority to do this. I'm going to register in a few of months. I'm not ordering as much as in the past.
I'll wait but not until the deadline as I have learned that everyone else will do that and then the website will crash because of the demand.

OK. I have seen somebody mentioning there will be / could be an upper limit of 2000 USD for online purchases per year.
Any idea if that would be per account holder, or per person in a given household associated to that account?
I mean i would have no problem to register but I want to know upfront what to expect and not have some made up surprises from these geniuses later.
2000 USD is a joke, we buy 10 - 15 K per year online, basically everything besides groceries and appliances or TV's. Nothing for resale, just normal things, like clothes, accessories, supplements, computer parts and accessories, womens stuff like make up, household things like bedding, no luxury things.

I remember it being announced. I don't know if the number of shipments or total yearly amount was ever implemented. Such a program would have been a nightmare to administer. Maybe with registration it could at least be possible now.
there is a limit of 6 cellphones per year. the guys like Encargopaq simply assign the 7th and up to a different name. easy peasy.
Hmmmm.... Here what the DGII website states:
https://www.dgii.gov.do/noticias/Paginas/DGII-publica-cinco-normas-generales-antilavado.aspx
No idea what/why registering would help against money laundering, but i guess like others mentioned before they may try do get a hold of the resellers....

Big brother will be watching you after July 28!
They can see everything you buy now and will tax you in whatever way they like.
You can't stop "progress"

Same here . And if the shipping company wants our continued business let them figure out a workaround ...but there’s no way we’ll be giving information without knowing for sure what they would do with it now or in the future. I’m told “registered” data on anything or anyone is very easy to obtain .....but that’s another topic.
If you nor I cannot figure out how this relates to money laundering, have no fear, those from this country can and some almost certainly do.
OK, so 20*3 is 60 shipments per year... why *3? You register one account under cedula, one under passport, one under spouse. That should suffice. If you need more shipments, you open accounts under brother/sister/father/mother name who give you a release allowing you to pick up shipments under their name. This reminds me the Pirated Satellite TV. Every measure the satellite provider put in place, the pirates soon found countermeasures.
Yes: The game is afoot. The cat and mouse game, in this case.
(I already considered the options you mentioned, should they become necessary. IPTV is so much better than the satellite game, as exciting as it was. )
The need for multiple accounts assumes that the rules (whatever those actually are) will be enforced and that the different accounts have differing names, perhaps different courier companies.
I'm not going to panic just yet.
