In 2022, the  customs systems of the  Costa Rican Ministry of Finance were hacked, which is why the import figures refer only to the periods January  to March and July to 
December  2022. This notification will be adjusted once the national customs authorities review the  data from the  missing quarter and enter them in  the systems.
