Who Is Eligible to Import Household Goods Into Panama?

Panama allows the duty- and tax-free importation of used household goods and personal effects for:

• Returning Panamanian citizens
• Foreign nationals with a work visa
• Visa holders under the special retirement program
• Foreign nationals with an investor visa
• Foreign diplomats
• Visa holders under the reforestation project program

Important Information
Household goods and personal effects must enter Panama within six months of the owner’s most recent arrival in the country. The owner must be physically present in Panama when their shipment arrives.
If duties or taxes apply to new items within the shipment, they will be assessed based on the submitted invoices or the applicable import tariff in effect at the time of processing.

Please note that Panamanian authorities have implemented a new pest-control procedure for all household-goods shipments. This means all containers, ground shipments, and air freight entering Panama are fumigated upon arrival at the port of entry or at the bonded warehouse terminal.
