Regulatory Environment
SENASA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agropecuaria e Inocuidad de Alimentos) governs animal product and food safety certification; as of May 2025, the facility registration process for US dairy exporters was significantly streamlined. RTCA 67.01.07.10 (Central American Technical Regulation on General Labelling of Prepackaged Food Products) mandates Spanish-language labels listing total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sodium, protein, and caloric value on all prepackaged foods sold domestically or within the SICA/CAFTA-DR regional market. Medical devices must be registered with the Ministerio de Salud under Decree No. 34482-S, which governs classification, registration, import control, and vigilance; registrations are valid for five years and all documentation must be submitted in Spanish. The CCSS (Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social) requires GS1-standard barcode identification on all medicines and medical supplies entering public-sector procurement — this requirement is written into CCSS tender specifications for both medicines and medical devices, making it a packaging-specification requirement for any supplier serving the public health system. Organic agricultural product certification follows MAG (Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería) regulations under Law 8542 on Organic Agriculture; certification must be issued by a MAG-accredited body and the certifying body's name and code must appear on label. Note: 'CONARROZ' (Corporación Arrocera Nacional) is the rice-sector corporation and has no role in general organic product certification.
Key Industries
Medical device manufacturing and export (world's 10th-largest exporter by value, leading per-capita exporter, approximately USD 9.2 billion in 2025; 70+ multinational manufacturers in free-trade zones), specialty coffee and organic pineapple and banana export (organic sector shipped over 31 million kilograms globally in 2025), cacao, eco-tourism, and pharmaceutical manufacturing within free-trade zones.
Market Context — Costa Rica
Costa Rica's export profile has been reshaped by a decade of medtech investment: medical devices became the country's single largest export category in 2025, generating approximately USD 9.2 billion by October 2025 — a 30% year-on-year increase — positioning Costa Rica as the world's 10th-largest medical device exporter by value and the global leader on a per-capita basis. More than 70 multinational manufacturers operate within Costa Rica's tax-advantaged free-trade zones, producing cardiovascular catheters, prosthetics, diagnostic imaging equipment, and surgical instruments for the US and European markets. Packaging and label design for these products must comply with ISO 11607 sterile barrier standards and FDA 21 CFR Part 801 (US market) or EU MDR 2017/745 (European market) labelling requirements, including UDI (Unique Device Identification) markings. Concurrently, Costa Rica's agricultural identity continues to drive premium export value: the organic sector shipped over 31 million kilograms globally in 2025, led by pineapple, banana, and specialty coffee. Brands targeting European and North American specialty buyers are expected to display accredited-certification marks — Rainforest Alliance, USDA Organic, or EU Organic leaf — and to meet RTCA 67.01.07.10 bilingual Spanish-English nutrient-labelling format requirements.
Product Instruction Manual Design in San José
San José is Costa Rica's capital and the commercial centre of Central America's most prosperous economy, home to Intel's Latin America manufacturing hub, a significant medical devices sector, and a premium coffee and ecotourism export industry. Packaging must meet SENASA and MEIC standards, carry Spanish-language primary text, and achieve the premium environmental credentials expected by Costa Rica's eco-certified export markets.
