We have an 85 lbs Labrador Retriever and when we move to Ecuador in March 2019, he's going to be with us (of course).
However, I am finding it extraordinarily difficult to get clear information on how to move our dog. Yesterday, a pet transport company told me that when we arrive in Quito, the Ecuadorean government will charge an "entry tax". This tax will be between $1,500 and $3,000, plus 43 percent of the airline cargo fee ($3,100), or (using $1,500) $2,833. They may (or may not) add the "value of the pet" to this sum, but nobody seems to know. That means that the cost of moving our dog to Ecuador will be at least $8,000!
I would greatly appreciate any advice on this topic from anyone who has successfully moved an animal to Ecuador. Thank you!
