Central American Trade Disputes - Nicaragua

The Central American market is an important destination for many of the companies established in Costa Rica. Intra regional trade is greatly facilitated by the Central American Common Market treaties and regulations. However, Trade disputes generated by the unilateral imposition of tariff and non-tariff trade barriers to Costa Rican exports are not unusual.

The Firm has offered advice and solutions to many enterprises facing this kind of problem, advocating before the relevant authorities, coordinating legal action and other means to obtain redress against undue governmental acts, and negotiating reasonable use of trade restrictions. Our Firm has had particularly extensive experience in defending Costa Rican exporters against Nicaraguan trade barriers on food products and construction materials.
