As a freight agent, Top China Freight is excited to introduce freight information for Costa Rica. Located in Central America, Costa Rica enjoys a strategic geographic position next to both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Although it is a developing nation, Costa Rica’s economy has demonstrated consistent growth in recent years. This growth has led to increased market demand and the expansion of the freight industry.
Key cities and ports include San Jose, Caldera Port, Limon Port, and Moín Port. San Jose serves as both the capital and a significant logistics hub. Caldera Port, located on the Pacific coast, ranks as one of Central America’s largest ports, facilitating trade between North and South America. Meanwhile, Limon Port and Moín Port, situated along the Caribbean coast, play crucial roles in the region’s import and export trade.
