Getting through customs at Punta Cana

[jaj1230]

Many people have advised us not to ship down anything (decorations, welcome bags supplies) and to just travel with it. My question is this: does anyone know if they need receipts or if there is a limit on how much we can spend. I just wanna know what/if there are limitations.

We were married in Punta Cana February 2013, we had two large Rubbermaid bins that we traveled with as well as 3 suitcases.  They opened the bins and looked briefly they ask what the items were for and we told them wedding decorations.  They did not ask for receipts and we were on our way very quickly. No issues that at all.

@Mufin1785  How did the rubbermaid bins work on the plane? 

[brendab1797]

Did you just use your rubber maids as checked luggage?  No banging up on the airplane?

Did everything make it safely in the Rubbermaid bins? Did you tape the lid on? This seems like a convenient way to transport stuff
