Hazardous chemicals and pharmaceutical raw materials generally need registration or an import permit from the Ministry of Health. Precursor chemicals are controlled through the Instituto Costarricense sobre Drogas (ICD), which issues import authorisations. Customs clearance runs through the TICA electronic system, while free-zone companies import under their own regime. Dangerous goods must be packed and declared under IMDG or IATA rules. Check permit requirements for each product before the order is confirmed, since goods arriving without the right authorisation can be held at customs.
