How It Works: 6 Steps to Your New Life
From your first conversation to arrival: understand the stages, information and decisions that bring your relocation together.
Tell Us Your Plans
You share your origin city, target timeframe, family structure, and lifestyle goals through our interactive relocation planner or an initial video consultation.
Key Outcome: Initial feasibility assessment, container sizing guidance, and destination recommendations.
Build Your Relocation Plan
We build a customized end-to-end relocation timeline and an itemized financial quote covering the services selected for your move, including international freight, customs clearance, and destination delivery.
Key Outcome: Clear cost visibility and proactive planning designed to minimize avoidable port, storage, and demurrage charges.
Integrate Your Services
We align your residency documentation and filing timeline with your customs strategy while finalizing pet health certifications and vehicle export documentation.
Key Outcome: Immigration, documentation, shipping, vehicle, and pet milestones are aligned under one relocation schedule.
Manage Your International Move
Professional international packing crews prepare your belongings at origin. Your shipment is packed, loaded, documented, and transported through the appropriate international ocean-freight route to Costa Rica.
Key Outcome: Shipment milestone tracking, documentation visibility, and marine insurance options according to the selected service.
Arrive in Costa Rica & Clear Customs
You fly into San José (SJO) or Liberia (LIR) to receive your entry passport stamp. We manage the DUA customs process and applicable Law 9996 benefits through clearance so your container can move efficiently toward final delivery.
Key Outcome: Customs clearance completed, applicable import benefits processed for qualifying clients, and your shipment released for final delivery.
Settle In
Our delivery crew unloads, places furniture into designated rooms, reassembles standard items, and removes packing debris according to the selected service. After delivery, CRRG remains your point of contact for the settling-in stage — utilities, local orientation, healthcare-system guidance, and practical destination support.
Key Outcome: Welcome home to Pura Vida!
