You can purchase them here if you don’t want to risk it – cost is high (usually around $2.00/lb), available at AutoMercados, PriceSmart and can order them at your local Pali.
I saw a guy in Liberia bring in about three dozen frozen packages of Oscar Meyer Cheesy Hotdogs. Customs check a couple of the foil packages and sent him on his way. Crazy stuff.:lol:
That’s just the luck of the draw! Our friend in July at the Liberia airport has his ‘cache’ taken away…
At the customs office in Caldera, they wouldn’t let us or the dogs, have the dried dog treats because they contained chicken and the ingredients were not listed in Spanish. And they even called in the vet….A year ago, we had problems with Customs and the Ministry of Agriculture over four Nylabones for our dog. Turns out, anything “animal-related” requires an import license from the Ministry. I was not about to go through that hassle for his Nylabones.
The young man at the Aerocasillas office in Grecia told us that Customs routinely passes any package that weighs less than one kilogram without opening it. Our Nylabone package weighe 1.066kg. I subsequently ordered two Nylabones and they came through without a hitch.
Go figure . . .
