As I understand it, your reduction comes only on the value of the vehicle. The 18% ITBIS and the 17% first placa are not waived. So its 35% of the reduced value for a returning Dominican, plus shipping, insurance, etc. Those fees also increase if you choose to container the vehicle as opposed to roll on roll off.
If only the DR would use a constant to value the vehicles...N.A.D.A., KBB, Edmunds, Mannheim reports....at least you could get a close estimate of the costs....but perhaps they prefer the current system of uncertainty...it certainly keeps threads like this alive.

According to the woman who will be handling everything once the car arrives, the returning Dominican and new permanent resident discounts are almost the identical amount. We'll see!!!
