One word of caution - if you plan to arrive in Haiti with the Domes, and think Customs will allow duty free entry because you are providing a gift of US generosity, you might want to check with NGOs that tried that path, or you might want to check with the US Embassy in PaP. Custom duties are the only ways the Haitin Gov get revenue - every importer claims their goods are for charity. To Customs people, if you are good enough to ship things to Haiti, you are good enough to pay import duties. Forget about an an Import Duty list of goods with a specifics on tarrifs, or how thy determine the value of the stuff you are bringing in. I have been going to Haiti since the early '70s; and still going. Don't give up or lose the faith or energy; spend some time researching the best way to connect with the right people so you don't arrive in country and have the domes held by custom until you pay the stiff import duty. Caveat Emptor. <br />Kind regards and congratulations for mobilizing so many ideas with so much energy. C. Juliardcjuliardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097367808077285818noreply@blogger.com
