Can anyone shed light on the rule that customs has for only being able to bring one laptop into Costa Rica. Is it really not allowed? I have two computers, one work, one personal. Seems to me I should be able to bring them in.
Are you traveling alone? If not, then the other laptop belongs to your traveling companion, right? Problem solved.
If you are traveling alone, I think you still do not have a problem. Others have brought in two laptops without any problem. If you’re questioned, be sure to explain that both are used and that the less valuable of the two is worth maybe $100 and the more valuable one maybe $300. They are both very old. At worst, you’ll have to pay sales tax on the less valuable one.
I’ve frequently entered Costa Rica with two laptops, one carried on my shoulder and the other packed in my luggage. I’ve never even been checked, much less questioned or charged customs duty.
