FAQ
How long does sea shipping to Costa Rica take?
Typical door-to-door timelines run 30–70 days depending on origin port, consolidated vs full container, and customs. Your Arriva pro will give a realistic window and flag any items likely to trigger duty.
Should I ship my car to Costa Rica?
It depends on the make, age, and local import duty — some cars are cheaper to sell and rebuy locally. A verified moving-and-shipping pro on Arriva will run the numbers before you commit.
What can't I ship into Costa Rica?
Every country has restricted and prohibited item lists (firearms, some medications, agricultural goods, older vehicles). Your customs-experienced mover will review your inventory and flag anything that needs a permit or has to stay behind.
