Automotive Aftermarket Trade Mission to Costa Rica - May 21-22, 2018

The International Trade Administration's U.S. Commercial Service, together with our strategic partner, The Auto Care Association, proudly present this upcoming, cost-effective opportunity to gain firsthand market information as well as meet one-on-one with local aftermarket industry partners, pre-screened to match your specific business objectives. A portion or all mission costs are offset through a U.S. Department of Commerce award. Benefit from customized B2B matchmaking and events!  

 

Why Costa Rica?  

  • Proximity to the U.S.: With ports of entry on both coasts, U.S. exporters from the West, Gulf and East Coasts can have products in Costa Rica in less than a week and can easily travel to meet with sales representatives, distributors or end clients within the same day.
  • No Tariffs:  Under the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), 100 percent of U.S. consumer and industrial goods exports to the region are no longer subject to tariffs.
  • Stability:  Economic and political stability make this market a leader in the region for international business and tourism.
  • Service all of Central America: As a larger Central America economy, and ease of access to neighboring countries, makes Costa Rica the ideal location for a regional distributor.
