Regulatory Certification of iPhone bought in US does not include Costa Rica and thus the IMEI was blocked

I bought my iPhone through the Apple store in the US. I use it throughout my travels and more specifically in Costa Rica where I live. Recently, I got a message from the local authorities that regulate telecommunications indicating that my IMEI was not certified to operate and proceeded to block my iPhone from using the cell towers for any kind of telecommunications in Costa Rica.

What right to claim that there was a mistake in proceeding incorrectly with my iPhone can I proceed with, or not?
