Costa Rica: FAIRS Country Report Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CS2024-0010
This report outlines the regulatory requirements and import procedures for food and agricultural products entering Costa Rica. The only significant regulatory change since the 2023 report was the adoption of a Central American Technical Regulation (RTCA) on Registration and Sanitary Inscription of Food Products scheduled to enter into effect in August 2024. FAS/San José does not expect any negative effects on the food product registration process, however, the measure could make it harder for multiple importers to bring the same U.S. product to the Costa Rican Market.
