Has anybody ever shipped a house of goods to the DR from USA? Is it worth it? Custom fees are reasonable? Or should we just give away or sell our stuff here? Thanks in advance

Can a DOMINICAN CITIZEN ship house hold furniture, small hand tools, and ceramic tiles custom free?
OP, I was just about to post this question when I saw your posting. Difference being the" Dominican citizen " might, IDK, get a break in duty.

Dominicans are entitled to a once-in-a-lifetime deep discount as a “returning Dominican”. They must prove they’ve not spent over 6 months in DR in the 2 years prior to the container arrival. Applies to one car too.

I am a US citizen. Wife is Dominican by birth but has her USA citizenship. So she can get that discount?
