Bringing the Car

[bradycarl]

Can anyone please tell me what the real scoop is on bringing your vehicle to CR? I have heard that you can bring 1 into the country without taxing, but then someone else says no! Do you know what the real deal is?

Importing a car to Costa Rica has been discussed at great length in this forum. For more than you want to know, do a Search.

There is no Customs duty exemption for bringing a car to Costa Rica. There was such an exemption for many years but it was repealed about fifteen years ago.

Look for [i]’Import a car'[/i] just down from this posting.
Lots of discussion…

The internet is also full of information, information overkill. I spent hours researching the subject on the internet, and asking fellow members on this site. It boils down to paying now or paying later, your vehicle risk tolerence and parts availability. I decided to sell my Toyota 4Runner here in the U.S., and buy a Toyota Fortuner or Prado in Costa Rica.
