Shipping household goods to Ecuador

Post new topic

Jetodd

I’m trying to get a quote and information about shipping my household goods to Ecuador.

I have found a company who will take them from my home to Guayaquil Port, but doesn’t anyone they can recommend to get the goods cleared thru customs and shipped to Cuenca or Quito.

Can anyone recommend a company that I can rely on to get my goods thru customs and to Cuenca or Quito?

Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated

A number of people in Vilcabamba, including myself, have used Sandra Baquero, CEO of Sanestar International Shipping Service in Guayaquil. correo - info@sanestarinternational.com.  My case was maybe a bit different, I was shipping in something for a business and had to get a Token for 1 year of importing, that was hell but eventually they did something for me and it got here pretty fast and as quoted, even gave me a break because I am a friend of a friend. Good people. They got a driver to truck it here to Vilcabamba.

A word of caution that unfortunately my shipper did not advise me of; if you have a residential VISA you can, one time, import your goods tax free.  However, getting your VISA is not enough.  You must also go to the Immigration Ministry and present it.  I learned this the hard way and it was very costly for me.

Thank you so much.

Do you know if they do in Ecuador moving?  Specifically Quito to Montanita.  I moved two years and had a mover that dented and scratched every appliance and piece of furniture I have, and I am not exaggerating.
