This session will feature a panel of speakers who can share their insights, obstacles overcome, and best practices from having gone through the process already.

Shipping internationally can be challenging as different countries and regions have different rules and don’t all follow the same protocols. As such, for those seeking to establish a facility in Costa Rica or anyone already operating, it’s important to know exactly what’s required to send products out and receive supplies in. This session will provide an overview of the customs system in Costa Rica. It will cover topics including customs compliance, fines and sanctions, and trade facilitation measures.
