I was born in DR but am a US citizen and have lived here all of my adult life. I'm planning on moving back, buying a home, and shipping my household items including car. Have been told that as Dominican born, my household goods are not subject to custom taxation.
There is no Dominican Consolate in the town I live in here in the states. There is a small, acting, consulate, in a nearby town, 2 hours away. I called and was told they do not have that info. That due to the new government, laws have been changed. I have not been able to reach the Consulate in NYC by phone.
I'm a senior lady and thought moving back home would be "a piece of cake." Sadly, that does not appear to be the case.
If anyone has any info regarding taxes and/or any experience in using a shipping company. Please share. Thank you.
