Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not sure I understand the question but mostly because I have to add support for shipping forwarders (e.g. write scrapers for them) and right now, the two ones I am personally using only ship to the Dominican Republic.

I also don't know if people actually do this outside the Dominican Republic. It only solves a problem for people who ship from the US through a shipping forwarder. If you ask Amazon (and other e-commerces) to ship internationally, they usually don't charge a sales tax in the first place. I don't really know how common it is for people to ship through forwarders outside the DR to be honest. It's a big thing here because "last-mile delivery" is unreliable and it's easier to go at a shipping forwarder's local office to pick up packages.
