Customs Rules for Yachts Arriving/Departing El Salvador
There are no customs requirements for recreational boats arriving in El Salvador and boats are not inspected by officials. However, customs and agricultural rules are enforced at the airport.
Importing Parts/Spares:
The post office in Zacatecoluca allows you to order parts and receive mail. The usual length is three weeks, although it can go up to six weeks. The US Postal Service offers a more convenient method for shipping parts compared to DHL or UPS. To pick up your package at the post office, you will need your passport and possibly pay a small fee.
Address your packages to:

Boat Name
C/O Hotel Bahia del Sol
Boulevard Costa del Sol, Kilometro 78
