Exporters claim that the lack of staff at border posts at certain times of the day is slowing the processes for customs clearance, security and sanitation issues.
Lack of staff and lack of coordination in the timetables for services provided to carriers are the main causes of the constant delays faced by companies that transport goods from Costa Rica to Central America.
A feasibility study will be carried out on converting the canton of Orotina in Alajuela, into a center to attract economic development in order for large logistics companies to establish there.
From a statement issued by the Georgia Tech Foundation:
Freight carriers are waiting up to 52 minutes to be attended to and complete the formalities at the border crossing of Peñas Blancas, on the border with Nicaragua.
A study by the Georgia Tech Foundation at the border of Costa Rica detected delays in Peñas Blancas and the difficulties faced by cargo carriers when carrying out the formalities related to payments and inspection of merchandise.
