The Army is going to take evrything down there my question is, do i have to pay any taxes to the Costa Rican Goverment for bringing my furniture down there?

You are liable for Customs duty on anything you import. There is a $500 exemption per person every six months. Just what Customs will charge you on used household goods is uncertain; there seems to be witchcraft involved.

Yes but David, it’s called ‘brujeria’ here not witchcraft… 🙂

So all depends on who will received my houselgoods ovethere.

Guillermo, it probably depends some on which Customs officer inspects your shipment, but it also depends on what you ship. If everything’s low-value, used household stuff, you won’t be hit too hard. If you send a containerful of high-end computer and audio-video stuff, pucker up.

Guillermo, are you retiring form the Army there? I’m in the military also, retiring soon. IS the Army going to ship your POV as well?
