Full containers, vehicles, machinery and air cargo from Dubai to Costa Rica, with customs clearance and delivery by our network partner office in Costa Rica.
Overview
MegaSpeed Cargo ships full containers, vehicles, machinery and air cargo from Dubai to Costa Rica. Sea freight leaves Jebel Ali for Moín (Limón), usually with a transhipment on the way, and air cargo flies to San José (SJO). Our network partner office in Costa Rica clears and delivers it, and we confirm the current transit time with each quote.
Moín, near Limón on the Caribbean coast, handles most of Costa Rica's container imports. Caldera serves the Pacific side.
All imports are cleared through a licensed customs broker, which our partner office arranges.

Transit depends on the transhipment port and the sailing or flight schedule, so we confirm it with each quote.
Vehicles
Costa Rica drives on the right, which suits left-hand-drive UAE cars. The import rules are the main check.
Costa Rica accepts used cars, but import taxes are high and rise with age. Ask us for an estimate before you buy.
Customs and documents
The Costa Rican customs service (Ministry of Finance) clears imports into Costa Rica. Duty depends on the HS code of the goods, and VAT (IVA) at 13% is charged on top of duty.
What we ship
Our clients in Costa Rica are importers, contractors, dealers and families. These are the goods we move most often.
