Customs and tax in the Dominican Republic
The courier rules as published by customs (DGA): a personal shipment up to USD 200 (FOB value) is exempt from duties and taxes, and the only customs charge on it is a fee of USD 0.25 per kg. From USD 200 to USD 2,000: customs duty by product, with most US goods exempt under the DR-CAFTA agreement, plus 18% ITBIS and a selective tax on goods such as perfumes and jewellery. Similar shipments arriving within 30 days may be treated as one. The carrier is your representative before customs and handles every formality. We prepare the clearance paperwork free of charge and your purchase invoice travels with the box from the start.
ID and billing
Registering in the customs registry (RUA) is mandatory for anyone who buys online and receives by courier; your identifier there is your cédula or passport (or RNC for companies), and parcels of unregistered users are held. Register once on the customs website before your first shipment and add the number to your shipment notes. Your invoice is in US dollars exactly as the calculator shows, and your card converts from Dominican pesos at your bank’s rate; nothing is added after payment.

Because it sits in a closer carrier zone, so its price is on our base table, like Mexico, while Central and South America run about 30% higher. The calculator shows each country’s figure as soon as you select it, so compare before you buy.
Customs presumes a shipment has been split when identical, similar or complementary goods come in within 30 days or less, and treats them as one. The exemption is for personal, not commercial, purchases, so order what you actually need and consolidate it into one box with its invoice.
Economy takes 7–9 business days and Express 5–7 from the day the box leaves our receiving center, and the tracking number reaches you as soon as it ships. What most often holds parcels there is a missing invoice inside the package, and your store invoice travels with your box from our side.
