Shipping from Dubai
to Costa Rica.

Yes. Our movers and packers do the packing, wrapping and listing in Dubai, then we ship your furniture and household goods in a full container, or share one if you have less to send. The item by item list matters, because customs clear personal effects against it. Fuel, gas cylinders, paint, aerosols and loose batteries cannot travel, and we give you the full list before packing day.

Sea freight to Costa Rica takes about 33 to 41 days, with cargo relaying through an international hub on the way. For air freight we could not verify a current transit range we would be willing to publish, so we confirm what is actually running for your cargo at the quote rather than giving you a number that might not hold. We give you a date in writing either way.

Moin on the Caribbean coast, in most cases. It is the principal modern container gateway and where the country’s box traffic is centred. Puerto Limon sits alongside it and handles provincial cargo. Caldera on the Pacific is the alternative when the routing or the inland destination suits it, and we compare both.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in Costa Rica it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight to Costa Rica is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight to Costa Rica is priced on weight or size, whichever is greater. Send us the details and we send you a price in writing, usually the same day.

All of them. San Jose, Alajuela, Cartago, Heredia, Limon, Liberia, Puntarenas, San Ramon, San Isidro de El General, Grecia, Ciudad Quesada, Guapiles, Nicoya and Turrialba. The country is compact, so the inland leg is short once the goods clear.

It might, and this is the thing to settle early. Food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, agricultural goods and chemicals commonly need registration or approval from the Ministry of Health, the agriculture authorities or another regulator. That is a registration of the product rather than a form for the shipment, so it takes time and cannot be arranged at the border. Send us the product and the HS code and we will check.

Not a universal one. Costa Rica does not use a single number or permit that every shipment needs before leaving Dubai. Ordinary commercial cargo just needs the customs declaration through the national system. The exception is product registrations for regulated goods, which do need arranging in advance.

Yes. Used vehicles can be imported, though Costa Rican rules prohibit specified unsafe and total loss vehicle categories, so the condition and history of the car matter as much as anything else. We could not verify any blanket maximum age. Send us the make, model, year and chassis number, along with the title status, and we will check before you buy.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Costa Rica door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs, and bring them to your address. You deal with one company for the whole journey.

You can send as little as one box or one pallet. We put small shipments from different customers into one shared container. This is called LCL, or less than container load. Your goods load at Jebel Ali and come into Moin. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. We will tell you which one is cheaper.

Yes, at both ends. We handle customs clearance in Dubai and customs clearance in Costa Rica. You do not need to find your own clearing agent.

Yes. We collect anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. We can also hold your goods in warehousing and storage in Dubai until you are ready to ship. That helps when you are buying from several suppliers and want everything to travel to Moin in one container.

Yes. We move project cargo to Costa Rica as well. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship. Send us the size and weight and the delivery town and we will work out the best way to move it.

Yes, and it is a good part of what moves this way. For Guanacaste, Caldera on the Pacific or air into Liberia both save the road leg from the central valley. Resort supply usually works better as a planned repeating shipment than as one-off bookings. Tell us what you need and how often.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads to Costa Rica, including San Jose, Heredia and Liberia. We pack, collect, move and deliver, and we handle the customs clearance so your things are not waiting on paperwork. We could not verify a broad relief scheme for people moving in, so tell us your situation and we will check rather than promise.
