People entering Costa Rica are officially allowed to bring 5 liters of liquor and 500 grams of tobacco. $500 US of merchandise may be brought in. Cameras, computers, and electronic equipment for personal use are permitted duty-free but bringing in more than one or two of any of these items may draw suspicion. Luggage is rarely checked upon entry.
Returning US citizens may bring back $800 worth of merchandise once every 30 days duty-free. Anything over that limit will be charged duty. For mailed goods this limit is $200.
