Any leads on Spanish schools near Jinotepe or Diriamba?

Also, what are the custom dollar limits for items brought on flights?

Thanks

Duty and Reality and ...

Submitted by fyl on 25 February, 2008 - 11:33.

The current answers here have just raised more questions for me. So, I am hoping for an answer that can clarify all these issues.

As for "airport duty for tourists", I have never been asked anything. The people I see getting stopped have something in its original box.

For Nicaraguan residents I have been told you can bring in $500 of "stuff" duty-free. This came from multiple sources including NicaBox suggesting we bring in something in my wife's name (this was before I had residency) so there would not be any duty. What I didn't find out from this is how often this $500 exception can be exercised.

$2,000 per person, bring

$2,000 per person, bring your receipts. Personally never been ask for them. your entrance paperwork ask. I am bringing 5 ceiling fans down next week.

Nica Customs

Interesting. A month ago I drove across Peñas Blancas into Nicaragua with a TV I bought in Panama for $180. Being a gringo tourist Nica Customs said I must pay 25% ($45) as duty. I complained the card I signed said I was allowed $400 worth duty-free (had nothing more to declare). No, she said, it does not pertain to tourists. So I called my Nica wife and she brought it duty-free. Of course we drove together back into the land of uncertain promise.

Does the airport bit pertain to tourist-types?
