Ship My Motorcycle To Costa Rica

Costa Rica (CRI)

Ship My Motorcycle To Costa Rica

Are you looking to transport your bike from the USA to Costa Rica from the USA? It is straightforward and affordable. If you ship to a port in Florida, you could ship for as little as $1,000 or as much as $3,000. You will also need to factor in import taxes, which can sometimes cost as much as the shipping cost itself.

It would be best if you prepared before you plan to Ship My Motorcycle to Costa Rica. Otherwise, you may run into a few challenges along the way. That is one reason why you must hire A1 Auto Transport Company to ship your motorbike from the United States to the Area for you. You will need time to prepare your motorbike for importation to avoid any hitches that can slow the process down.

Costa Rica has breathtaking views and two main shipping ports: Puerto Caldera and Puerto Limon. These two ports can receive motorcycle imports, but, customs will need to know where the motorcycle is coming from and the destination once it's cleared in the country. This will help you opt for the best port to ship to. It requires emissions tests and inspections for all vehicles coming into the area, and this test will need to be performed within two months of your vehicle's shipping date.

Shipping Options to Costa Rica.

You will need to choose which shipping option will be best for your bike import: permanent or temporary import. Both importing options still require the emissions testing; however, there are a few differences in other procedures performed based on which one you choose.

Import on Temporary Basis.

If you want to ship my motorcycle to Costa Rica or any vehicle brought into the country by a non-resident for less than three months, you will not be subject to paying customs taxes. To ship temporarily, you will need to provide the original and a copy of the following:

  • Passport.
  • Registration of the vehicle.
  • Driver's license - make copies of both sides of the license.
  • Title to the bike you are importing.
  • You must have a letter notarized and certified by the Costa Rican Consulate from the motorcycle owner permitting you to bring it to the Area if you are not the owner.

How to Request Delivery to Costa Rica.

  • You will need to fill out an application for temporary import. This form can be found at Customs of the Area.
  • When applying for a temporary import permit, you should bring both a copy of all information and the originals. If you are applying for temporary import status, make sure your passport has the correct duration date.
  • If you are a citizen of Costa Rica, you will need to provide proof of resid.ency
  • Pay your fees for a temporary import permit, and the National Insurance Institute.
Permanent Import.

If you plan on shipping my motorcycle to Costa Rica, for a period longer than three months, you will need to file for a permanent import. You will need to contact the Costa Rican Customs official before you begin, so you will ensure that you are following the correct procedure for importing. You will need all the documents listed in the temporary important and the following:

  • Purchase invoice of the vehicle.
  • Bill of Lading.
  • Proof of identity.

You will also be responsible for paying import taxes in the Area. It is essential to realize that they do run higher than in other countries, but you may still find that the cost is not so outrageous that you can't ship your vehicle. You will also need to determine the value of your bike in order to determine how much tax you will pay. It's best to always use the higher value when calculating the value. The value of your vehicle can be determined.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
