Frequently asked question
Can I import my household goods and furniture to Ecuador?
Household goods may qualify for a duty or customs treatment available to certain new residents, but eligibility, timing, inventory rules, value limits, and documentation should be confirmed with Ecuadorian customs and a qualified broker before shipment. Container costs, transit time, and carrier requirements vary by origin and route. Compare the live customs procedure with the cost of buying locally before committing to an import.
