Items worth bringing from home opposed to buying in DR page 2 - Dominican Republic forum

Hi all! Our villa is near completion and we will need to furnish it. We are currently in California. We will be returning soon do this. We will do a few check in luggages. Will be packing the bags with small kitchen appliances but was wondering what other items anyone might suggest we bring from here. I know TVs are out of the question. Are there any other things that would be worth bringing over opposed to shopping for them there? Obviously furniture and other big ticket items we will have to purchase there and am looking forward to shopping In Santo Domingo. (Will take suggestions for some shops) We already bought a bunch of custom pieces, dining table, benches, coffee tables from a local wood worker out of Cabarete. Again items that would fit in our check in luggages. Thanks in advance!

I believe it's a 20% discount per year old the car is. We imported a 2019 model in 2020 and got a 20% discount. So the older the car, the bigger the discount since you'll get less use out of it!

We still had to pay the normal 18% fee for the first plate on the car. That's whether you import or buy it here.
