ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Looking to IMPORT Products FROM the U.S. to Costa Rica for business?

Looking to IMPORT things FROM the U.S. to Costa Rica for business?

It’s not always easy so instead of beating your head against the wall (we’ve ALL been there/done that!), check out this link to the Foreign Commercial Service office at the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica and see what kind of assistance you can get to make the transition smoother!!!  For more of the story . . .



I hear they’re good folks and very happy to help.

What their website says is:
"The U.S. Commercial Service San Jose provides assistance to U.S. companies wishing to enter the Costa Rican market. Our mission is to:

    Promote the export of goods and services from the U.S.;
    Protect U.S. business interests abroad, and
    Assist small and medium-sized companies to achieve export success.

Our business philosophy is to provide timely, relevant, customized business solutions.

Our office in San Jose provides a combination of cost-effective core and specialized services including:

    Identifying local representatives for your product/service;
    Scheduling appointments for your visit to Costa Rica;
    Preparing market research - just for your company;
    Linking to your office by video-conferencing;
    And much, much more"



BUT I’M ALREADY HAVING CHALLENGES WITH THIS
(and I didn’t find this site before) - NOW WHAT
?

If you need to pursue legal advice, click on the link on the left called Business Service Providers.  That will give her various options, including legal contacts.
