Puerto Rica
Costa Rica has developed a robust trade system that plays a vital role in its economy. As a small, export-oriented country, Costa Rica relies heavily on international trade to fuel economic growth. It imports a wide range of goods including raw materials, machinery, petroleum products, consumer goods, and food items not produced domestically. These imports support both local industries and consumer needs. The country’s strategic location in Central America, combined with its membership in several free trade agreements (such as CAFTA-DR and agreements with the EU and China), facilitates smoother import processes and boosts trade relations with key global markets.
