Are there any exemptions to the payment of custom duties in the Dominican Republic?
Apart from free zones, there is very little exoneration to the payment of import taxes. These are limited to some basic products, agricultural products like insecticides and herbicides, articles to be used by international organizations or the diplomatic corps, articles to be used for religious worship and samples for exhibition at international fairs. Furthermore, Law 146-00 of 27 December 2000 maintained and reinforced duty exemptions for strategic economic sectors.
