We often get asked about international shipping and whilst we don't offer it directly ourselves, we will help customers by shipping to their preferred freight forwarder. Often the freight forwarder is based in the Miami, FL area as these shipments are often going to the Caribbean or Central America.
The fixed frame panels are now always shipped in a custom, full wooden crate (with foam inside protecting the panels). You may notice the panels are shipped vertically (or on their side) so they are not flat, this is a good thing as it takes up less space and costs less but also prevents the panels being double stacked (ie something heavy stacked on top of them!) It will look similar to the photo below:
Recently we helped a customer in Costa Rica ship 8x 330W Maxeon Air solar panels for their Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 and wanted to share a few details about Importaciones América.
They are based in Costa Rica but have a warehouse facility in Miami, FL that we can ship your solar panels to and they take care of everything else. From consolidating shipments, customs clearance and delivery to final address in CR. They have over 10 years' experience and can easily facilitate your delivery of solar panels to Costa Rica.
Delivery to Costa Rica is about 5 days with air freight or around 22 days with sea freight and it's worth noting there is currently a 14% import tariff on solar panels from USA to Costa Rica.
If you would like more details about shipping solar panels to Costa Rica please reach out to José Pablo, he is a customs broker and a shipping & logistics specialist at Importaciones América.
Payment for shipping from our warehouse in Chandler, AZ to Miami, FL will be via Sun Powered Yachts and then onward international shipping and customs fees etc will be direct with Importaciones América.
