Obviously everything talked about above screams “paperwork.” However it’s not so intense if you hire help along the way. Besides, if you’re working with dealers they should be doing it for you anyway. If you believe importing a car is the right option for you, then it’s a very good idea to get a good customs broker/agent on your side. Once the car has arrived to the port the agent will do the paperwork for you and calculate the taxes. Once you’ve paid up you can take your car. This usually takes about two days. You should also consider hiring a bi-lingual lawyer to guide you through the process (e.g. check out www.CostaRicaLawyer.com or email Marielos Melendez – who answered my questions – at Lawyer@CostaRicaLawyer.com). If you’re not working with a dealer you will still need the help of a Customs agent to help you plan and prepare… And you need patience! (Lytle, 2008b).
