Customs/Importation

This topic has been beat to death, BUT in posts that are fairly old.... AND the topic never seemed to be made clear. There was a lot of "i heard" and "if the law hasn't changed." So here I start it again.

We have a 20ft container coming into terminal Managua from Canada the beginning of Nov and were wondering if anyone had a referral for a custom broker in the Managua area to help us clear our household goods.

Thanks

We are a couple of weeks away from moving down to our finca, and I want to bring both a shotgun and my pistol. Anyone got a copy of the current gun law ? Or info on getting whatever documents are required ?

May I bring seeds for various plants to Nicaragua? These plants will be for personal use, not commerical use. If anyone has any information regarding restrictions/requirements I would appreciate any

hello everybody boy do i need help. we have a container bobbing around on the Atlantic as we 'speak' and no import papers. This extraordinary state of affairs has occured due to a major %&*! mistake by our abogado.

2 buds from Texas drive a 92 suburban 4x4 tru Mex-Nic,and now are in Costa Rica and want to sell the truck. The NADA value is around $4000 and they say the Tax is based on the engine size and the Tax is high.

I´m interested in buying an old Land Rover in Nicaragua (Jinotega) and driving it to Honduras and beyond. Has anyone done this? I´ve read the how to register a vehicle FAQ, but I´m just checking on what the actual border process is like when a gringo is trying to drive a truck with Nico plates on it out of the country.

Some of you must have shipped their domestic stuff to Nic. in 20 or 40 foot containers. Any information about how bad it was would be very useful.

Will be driving to C. America shortly. Will be staying a year, primarily in Nicaragua, and some in C. Rica. In CR you can only drive a N. American plated vehicle for 6 months. At which point the vehicle has to be plated with CR plates, put in storage, or removed from the country. What are the regulations pertaining to bringing a vehicle into Nicaragua, and using it there over an extended period of time. Namely flitting back and forth from Nica to CR and back. Incidently, has Nica now got unleaded gasoonline?

We want to drive to Nicaragua (have done that before) and this time leave our car there for future use. Anybody know about how that is done? Import taxes? Permits, etc?

I would appreciate any advice on how to get my farm in nica classified for exporting citrus, avocado, and banana to the US. THANK YOU !!!!!

Hello, does anyone know the best and the most economical way to ship a 4 X 4 SUV to Managua from San Francisco?

I heard some terrible stories about how bureaucratic and corrupted it is at the Aduanas.

I'm sure this hes been dealt with before but I am new to this site and can't see any info in the history. What is the actual age limit of importing a vehicle to Nicaragua. I have heard 10 years, 7 years, and 5 years from different people. I have a vehicle that is 8 years old, trying to find out if this would "pass" the required age to import.

I am doing a report for school and my father said I could post some questions here. My mother was born in Nicaragua. I have been there 1 time. I am 12 years old. What is the favorite game children play? What is Nicaragua's favorite food? When does the school year start and when does it end? What do Nicaragua people have for pets? What is the favorite sport? Where do you like to go for vacation?

I am planning on bringing my Chihuahua to Managua with me. So far, I have her vet records in Spanish (not a problems since all her heath care has been handled in Mexico), a Spanish letter from my vet attesting to her good health. I really don't understand wbout the "government official" letter requirement---will any goverment official do (like the mayor?)
