News and Updates

Recent News
U.S.-Costa Rica Trade Agreement Boosts Tool Imports
A recent trade agreement under the CAFTA-DR framework has reduced tariffs on specific industrial tools, including rotary drills and hammer tools with self-contained electric motors (HS 8467.21.00), facilitating an increase in exports from Costa Rica to the U.S.
2023-10-15
Impact: This tariff reduction is expected to increase the volume of rotary drill and hammer tool imports from Costa Rica by approximately 15% over the next year, benefiting U.S. distributors with lower costs.
Costa Rican Manufacturers Expand Production of Electric Tools
Several Costa Rican manufacturers have ramped up production of rotary drills and chiseling tools meeting the specified criteria (rated amperage ≤ 15 A, triaxial vibration ≤ 9 m/s²), targeting the U.S. market due to rising demand for construction tools.
2023-09-20
Impact: Increased production capacity in Costa Rica is likely to strengthen supply chains for U.S. construction sectors, potentially lowering prices due to higher availability of these specialized tools.
U.S. Importers Report Quality Compliance Issues with Costa Rican Tools
Some U.S. importers have flagged inconsistencies in the compliance of Costa Rican rotary drills and hammer tools with EN 60745 vibration standards, leading to temporary delays in shipments.
2023-08-05
Impact: These compliance issues may cause short-term disruptions in trade flows, potentially increasing costs for U.S. importers due to additional testing and certification requirements.
Policy Updates
CAFTA-DR Tariff Adjustment for Industrial Tools
