Costa Rica Ministry of Health device registration under RTCR 505:2022. One Costa Rica holder of record. One-time registration fee plus an annual holder fee.
Timelines confirmed at proposal stage
Costa Rica's Ministerio de Salud, through the Dirección de Regulación de Productos de Interés Sanitario, registers medical devices under Reglamento Técnico RTCR 505:2022 — "Equipo y Material Biomédico. Clasificación, Registro, Importación, Etiquetado, Publicidad, Vigilancia y Control" — submitted through the Regístrelo portal governed by Decreto Ejecutivo N° 37988-S, under the authority of Ley General de Salud N° 5395. RTCR 505:2022 confirms that the product title holder or their legal representative can authorize third parties for importation or distribution — as long as it is indicated in the registration request. There is still a single registered title holder — the CRH — but the CRH can authorize multiple downstream distributors on one registration. bioaccess® acts as the CRH under its contract with you, working with our local partner in Costa Rica. See the LATAM Importer of Record guide for the full country breakdown.
Costa Rica is quoted case by case and is not part of the published fixed-price plan (Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Argentina). Your quote states government fees, translations and holder service. RF homologation for wireless devices runs through Costa Rica's separate telecom authority and is quoted separately.
