Nicaragua: FAIRS Country Report Annual
Link to report:
This report describes Nicaraguan regulatory requirements and import procedures for food and agricultural products. As of June 2024, there had been no major changes to the regulatory regime since the 2023 report. However, the U.S. Government has observed Nicaraguan customs authorities more frequently challenging the origin of U.S. products, which could result in unpaid duties and fines if customs authorities deny the products duty free access under the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, further complicating an already challenging trade landscape. U.S. exporters should have very clear conversations with their trading partners prior to shipping products to Nicaragua.
