What are the requirements on emissions testing for used cars and motorcycles being imported to Costa Rica?
The Government of Costa Rica requires emissions testing for all vehicles, regardless of whether they are driven or shipped into the country, and regardless of whether they are being imported permanently or for temporary (e.g., touristic) use by their owners. U.S. citizens wishing to drive or ship a car or motorcycle into Costa Rica, even for temporary use, are strongly encouraged to contact the nearest Costa Rican consulate for more information, and to delay shipping or driving a vehicle to Costa Rica until they are certain they have complied with the new requirements.
