    if an item will fit in checked luggage and the value is less than $2000.00, can it be brought in to Panama duty free? (ex. George Forman grill, curtains, tools, etc.)

    Dear Howard,
    This type of item is not listed at the Customs Authority website http://www.ana.gob.pa/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=115&Itemid=100 as “customary” for a tourist.

    I’m going to ask that you send this question to your Panama attorney (if you do not have one try the one listed in this, your Panama Insider website, Rainelda Mata-Kelly, see below).

    Double check this with the attorney, but here’s what I believe:
    It might be easier if you: are a resident of Panama and have a receipt showing the item is not new and is simply intended for use in your Panama home. One grill only.

    OR if new and you say it’s for a gift (and hey, if that is the case and you have a wedding invitation or similar to further prove it, great).
