Costa Rica: oral tobacco and nicotine pouch regulation, May 2025

Written by || 7th May 2025 || Nicotine pouches regulatory reports , Regulatory reports | Enforcement | Marketing and retailing | Modern oral | Regulation and legislation | Tax | GeographiesCentral America Costa Rica

Oral products are considered tobacco derivatives in Costa Rica, meaning they are subject to general tobacco restrictions in all policy areas, except for public use.

Nicotine pouches also qualify as tobacco products, which is why they must comply with all tobacco requirements, including notification, except for public use.

No relevant regulatory developments are expected for oral tobacco and nicotine pouches in the near future, though oral tobacco taxes are likely to increase annually.

This report provides detailed analysis of the regulatory framework for oral tobacco and nicotine pouches in Costa Rica, covering all policy areas from market access and taxation to advertising and packaging.
