COSTA RICA · COFFEE EXPORT

The export dossier starts before the customs declaration

VUCE administers Costa Rica's Single Exporter Registry and centralizes procedures with participating institutions. ICAFE maintains coffee-specific economic-agent and export-contract requirements.

Operational layers

RUE / PROCOMER

Exporter registration through VUCE. Official information describes a two-year validity period and no registration fee.

ICAFE

Registration as coffee exporter/economic agent with current legal-representation, identity and administrative requirements.

Export contract

ICAFE documents SICWEB flows for daily purchase reporting and generation of coffee export contracts.

Destination

Origin certificates, technical notes, phytosanitary or other requirements depend on market, product, trade preference and buyer.

Traceability

Preserving mill, seller, buyer, quantity, quality, period and physical-lot links supports reconstruction and review.

EU / EUDR

Where EUDR applies, origin and geolocation evidence connects to the responsible operator in the destination market.

Official sources

Always confirm the specific shipment dossier with ICAFE, VUCE, customs, broker, buyer and importer.
