I've not seen anything stating that silencer/suppressors are not allowed in Mozambique. Your question though also makes me realize I've not seen anything stating they are allowed. I messaged my PH as my upcoming hunt is in Mozambique to have him confirm they are allowed. But also interested if anyone here has more concrete proof of them either being allowed or being prohibited. Are suppressors controlled items in Mozambique?

.375 Cal Suppressor anyone?

I can’t point you to anything written one way or the other. Obviously listen to whatever you outfitters says!
My experience based on one trip to Mozambique, October 2023. I checked with my outfitter before hand and he said suppressors are legal in Mozambique. My PH confirmed during the hunt that a number of clients have brought suppressors over to Mozambique. I had zero issue traveling with my suppressor through South Africa and importing through Tete, Mozambique.
They checked my rifle and serial number, but nobody in Africa, even bothered to look at my suppressor or ask for paperwork. I actually didn’t have any issues on the US side either. When I came back through Atlanta they didn’t even ask about the suppressor, want to see my form 4, or even look at my 4457 for the suppressor. Just checked the rifle serial number on my 4457 and sent me on my way.
So based on my experience, I would not hesitate to bring a suppressor to Mozambique. I’ll definitely be bringing my suppressor again on my next Mozambique hunt in 2025. I’m a bit bummed my suppressor has to stay at home for my Zimbabwe hunt this fall.

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
