Question New Residents?? Right to Import, Duty Free?

I'm an American; I've been in the DR [POP] for 12 years; I have a cedula & residencia.
* I seem to have heard from several then recent foreign immigrants that a new resident may import:
* A. 1 container load of furniture, presumably for domestic use; &
* B. 1 automobile for personal use; both duty free.
* Is anyone aware of the actual law? Citations? Copy of the law. Has anyone had practical experience in either area? I'm most interested in the car.
* Suggestions? Recomendations? Resources? Experienced, reasonably honest, lawyers? [Tongue in cheek! I'm a former lawyer! "Reasonably honest", too!] Thank you.
