Costa Rica Customs Data is built on import declaration records published by the Costa Rican customs authority, and is the most complete third-party-firm dataset in the Americas series: every record names the storage enterprise, customs agency (with code) and logistics agent (with code), alongside the importer (with company code), exporter, brand-level goods detail (Wynns), contract number, release mode, and tri-currency pricing (USD + CRC colones) with freight and insurance breakdown. Below is a complete breakdown of the data field system, illustrated with a sample record (Costa Rica import, September 2026).

🏗️ Full Third-Party Chain, Coded
One record names warehouse (GRUPO CAROSS S.A.) + customs agency (TICAL DEL OESTE S.A., code 310114277828) + logistics agent (MOLINA CAMPOS BERNY GERARDO, code 206390703) — the entire clearance service chain is mapable and contactable.
📄 Contract-Level Traceability
The record carries contract no. 00045789_189 and item no. 67 — linking a customs line back to a specific commercial contract and its 67th item: contract-execution tracking across shipments.
🏷️ Brand-Level Consumer Detail
Goods are identified by brand (Wynns) and product line (Liquido para Limpieza L-9) within the mastics/cements HS line — aftermarket-chemicals intelligence at shelf-SKU depth.
🧮 Fully Itemized Landed Cost
FOB 77.27 + freight 8.8 + insurance 1.09 = CIF value ≈ 87.16 USD — every landed-cost component is a separate field, and the CRC colones track (39,446.41, unit 2,827.2) covers local-currency accounting.

💡 Data Value Highlight
Costa Rica Customs Data is the region's most service-chain-complete dataset: warehouse, customs agency and logistics agent all named and coded, plus contract numbers, release modes and a fully itemized FOB/freight/insurance cost stack with USD+CRC dual pricing — built for channel mapping, contract tracking and precise landed-cost work.
Q1: What is Costa Rica Customs Data?
Costa Rica Customs Data covers import/export trade records for Costa Rica (CR). Each record contains the importer (with company code), exporter, the full third-party service chain (storage enterprise, customs agency with code, logistics agent with code), brand-level goods detail, logistics with registration/release modes and contract number, and itemized pricing (FOB + freight + insurance, USD + CRC). The sample record shown is a September 2026 maritime import of Wynns cleaning liquid (HS 321410190090) by JSM UNITY COSTA RICA SOCIEDAD ANONIMA from GRUPO KOLIMA of the United States.
Q2: What makes Costa Rica data unique?
Four core differentiators:
1. Coded third-party chain — customs agency 310114277828, logistics agent 206390703, warehouse all named.
2. Contract number + item number — customs lines tie back to commercial contracts (00045789_189, item 67).
3. Itemized cost stack — FOB 77.27 / freight 8.8 / insurance 1.09 as separate fields.
4. Brand + product-line detail — Wynns, Liquido para Limpieza L-9, inside an HS mastics line.
Q3: How frequently is the data updated?
Updated monthly with full historical backfill. The sample record is month 202609, dated 2026/9/5, declaration no. 001.2026.0711267.0060.
Q4: How do I use the third-party firm fields?
The third-party module names three service providers with registry codes:
- Storage enterprise: GRUPO CAROSS SOCIEDAD ANONIMA — the bonded/holding warehouse.
- Customs agency: AGENCIA ADUANAL DESALMACENADORA TICAL DEL OESTE SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, code 310114277828 — the licensed broker.
- Logistics agent: MOLINA CAMPOS BERNY GERARDO, code 206390703 — an individual agent (common in CR), likely the customs representative of record.
Because agencies serve many importers, the same coded agency recurs across records — build a market map of who clears whom, and approach agencies as a channel into importer rosters.
Q5: What do the registration type, release mode and contract fields mean?
- Registration type: IMPORTACION DEFINITIVA — a definitive (duty-paying) import, not temporary admission or a free-zone regime.
- Release mode: NORMAL — standard clearance, not express/simplified.
- Contract no. 00045789_189 + item no. 67: the line item traces to the 67th item of a specific supply contract — reconstruct the contract's shipment schedule by grouping on the contract field.
- Purchase country PANAMA (vs exporter country US): the order was placed with a Panama entity — a re-invoicing structure worth noting.
Q6: What product is HS code 321410190090?
HS 3214.10 covers mastics, sealants, cements including glaziers' putty and grafting putty. The sample product is Wynns "Liquido para Limpieza L-9" — a cleaning-liquid product classified in this sealants/preparations line (12 units in a carton). Industry: Chemicals; Sub-industry: Other Chemicals. Lesson: the brand + detailed-name fields matter — HS classification alone would misread this as construction putty.
Q7: How does the itemized cost stack work?
Every cost component is a separate field:
- FOB: USD 77.27
- Freight: USD 8.8 (≈ 11.4% of FOB)
- Insurance: USD 1.09 (≈ 1.4%)
- Sum ≈ CIF 87.16 — matches the declared total
- CRC colones: 39,446.41 total, 2,827.2 per bulto (package)
Small-lot economics are fully transparent: 5.176 kg at USD 16.84/kg — typical of LCL/multi-item consolidated containers (item 67 of the declaration!).
Q9: How do I develop Costa Rican buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter by HS chapter (this sample: 3214 — mastics/preparations) and month.
2. Extract importer + company code (JSM UNITY COSTA RICA SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, 310184085203).
3. Note their brand preferences (Wynns) and pack formats (12-unit cartons).
4. Pitch as a complements supplier to their existing brand lines, or as a private-label alternative at the 2,827 CRC-per-unit price point.
Q10: How do I map the clearance service market?
Steps:
1. Group records by customs-agency code (310114277828-type) and count importer clients.
2. Rank agencies by handled value and HS specialization.
3. Cross logistics-agent codes to spot individual brokers with concentrated books.
4. Shortlist agencies covering your target HS chapters for partnership outreach.
Q11: How do I track a contract's execution?
Steps:
1. Filter on contract no. (00045789_189).
2. List all customs lines sharing the contract (this record is item 67).
3. Reconstruct delivery schedule, values and purchase-entity routing (Panama re-invoicing here).
4. Use the pattern to benchmark your own contract-fulfillment offers.
Q12: How do I analyze Costa Rica's import structure?
Analytical dimensions:
1. Regime mix: IMPORTACION DEFINITIVA vs temporary/free-zone regimes.
2. Service chain: agency/warehouse/agent concentration per HS chapter.
3. Routing: purchase country (PANAMA) vs exporter country (US) re-invoicing patterns.
4. Cost structure: freight+insurance share of CIF by lot size (11-13% on small lots here).
Q13: How do I spot hot products and assess risk?
Hot products: rank import value by HS code; flag YoY growth > 20%; aftermarket chemicals and maintenance products (this sample's category) track Costa Rica's automotive/industrial service demand.
Risk framework:
1. Structure risk — Panama re-invoicing obscures the true supplier; verify the principal behind the contract.
2. Concentration risk — reliance on one customs agency creates service chokepoints; monitor agency share per importer.
3. Classification risk — HS lines can mislead (cleaning liquid under mastics); always read brand + detailed-name fields before categorizing.
