Can I send cosmetics to the Dominican Republic?

Conditions apply

Yes, with conditions.

Personal quantities only. No aerosols or nail polish. Larger imports need a health ministry authorization.

For every Onvoyo box: No aerosols, perfume, nail polish or other flammable liquids. Keep liquids sealed and bagged.

Before you ship to the Dominican Republic

Tax-free limit: Express shipments worth up to USD 200 (about DOP 11,900), counting the goods plus shipping and insurance (CIF), pay no duty or ITBIS. That includes personal effects and unsolicited gifts, not just purchases. Customs charges only a fee of USD 0.25 per kilogram. The limit applies to the whole shipment, and customs can add together similar goods sent to the same person. DGA's FAQ still describes the limit as FOB (goods only), but the 2022 customs regulation uses CIF, so keep goods plus shipping within USD 200 to be safe.
Receiver ID: Cédula, passport, or RNC, with RUA registration needed. Courier labels must show the receiver's cédula, passport, or RNC (for companies). DGA also requires everyone who uses courier services to be registered in its courier user registry, the RUA. There's no separate number: the ID itself is the registration, and signing up is free and online. Missing RUA registration is one of the listed reasons customs can hold a low-value package, so register before you ship.
Transit: 2-5 business days from North America; 4-7 from Europe; 5-8 from Asia
