Government fees only — service and testing costs are separate- Article 64 of Decreto Ejecutivo 490 is the only tasas article in the device regulation, and it prices operating licences alone: the decree fixes no per-device registro sanitario tasa, so the low- and high-risk figures shown are the distributor operating licence that every importer needs regardless of device class.
- Ley 90 art. 26 delegates the registro sanitario, free-sale certificate, and GMP/GSP/GDP certificate tariffs to a future executive decree; no such decree has published amounts, so those events carry no verifiable official fee yet.
- The balboa is fixed at par with the US dollar and US notes circulate as legal tender, so B/. amounts equal USD amounts.
