International Vehicle Transportation

Avoid tico providers not getting screwed with insurance if your car is damaged during shipping.

before you make your final decision to ship the truck. You had better check the rules on shipping into country as they have age Restriction.  And if it does pass those then the tax for importing it may be more than it is worth. It could be as much as 75% of the value of the truck

That's absolutely true, but remember that whether a private party imports a vehicle or a car dealer (new or used) imports it, the government fees will be the same. Import duties are calculated by Costa Rican Customs on the listed values in "The Black Book" regardless what you may pay. The only workaround is to purchase a new vehicle here because, in that case, the vehicle is valued at whatever the cost is from the manufacturer to the dealer, before the dealer's costs and markup are added.

@daveandmarcia Just to keep in mind that a new vehicle cost at least 50% more than a similar one in the US or even more.
