What does custom preforms cost in Costa Rica?

What import rules apply to custom preforms in Costa Rica?

Import duty plus VAT (IVA). Central American technical regulations (RTCA) apply to some goods. Confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker; we provide the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test certificates.

Is there a trade agreement between India and Costa Rica?

There is no India-specific trade agreement with Costa Rica, so standard (MFN) duty applies to custom preforms. We supply a non-preferential certificate of origin with every shipment.

Can I combine custom preforms with other products in one shipment to Costa Rica?

Yes. Custom Preforms can be consolidated with other pet preforms and products from our other divisions in one FCL or LCL container with one set of documents.

Why import PET preforms instead of bottles?

Preforms occupy a fraction of the volume of blown bottles, so one container of preforms produces many times more bottles, dramatically reducing freight cost per bottle.
