Costa Rica - Temporary Entry Costa Rica - Temporary Entry
FTZ benefits have been extended through negotiations with WTO authorities.
Construction equipment, sound or film equipment, commercial samples of significant value, etc. may be granted temporary entry by customs. Temporary entry is contingent on the payment of an amount equal to the duties that would have been paid if the items were imported.
The amount is refunded when the item is re-exported. Hiring a customs broker for this process is highly recommended.
