Costa Rica Customs Authorities No Longer Accept Plastic Seals

Dear Valued Customer,

Please kindly be advised that Costa Rica Customs Authorities will no longer accept plastic seals.

The only seal permissible is the bottle seal (ISO17712).

Please note any container arriving without this bottle seal will be charged 15$ to remove the old seal and add the new bottle seal.

Additionally there can be fines and untimely delays in releasing the cargo to the receiver.

We therefore ask for your cooperation in ensuring all seals on your containers to Costa Rica are Bottle Seals. 

Please do not hesitate to contact your local Customer Service Team for any assistance.
