I have some gold bars. There is no problem bringing them into country, there is no taxes, but I have a rule I never keep any more money on me that I can can afford to lose. There is no way I trust customs to just ship gold bars, so if there is something like an armored car service available will you share. I will need to hire an armored sercie that can pick up in the us an deliver to a bank in costa rica. Also if someone has broght in a large amount of valuables can you share how you what method of transporation you used. Legally I can bring in all I want on an airplane. It is logal so long as it is declared you are bringing morethan $10,000 on a flight.

Some (maybe many) banks offer little or nothing in the way of safety deposit boxes, so finding a good home for your gold bars* may be more difficult than you think.

*My opinion on gold, if you wish.
