What is specific to Ecuador
Coverage in Ecuador
Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Santo Domingo and every other city and town are on the FedEx and DHL network, and the box is delivered to the address in your account. Write the main street, cross street and building number the way you write them locally, and add your phone number so the carrier can reach you.
Customs and tax in Ecuador
Category B, known as 4×4, as it stood in October 2026: a non-commercial package of no more than 4 kg and USD 400 pays a flat USD 20 tariff per package plus the 0.5% Fodinfa levy, capped at USD 1,600 per recipient per year. Anything beyond that falls under Category C up to 100 kg and USD 5,000: duty by product plus 15% IVA and 0.5% Fodinfa. Clothing and footwear outside 4×4 have their own category, capped at 20 kg and USD 2,000: 10% plus USD 5.50 per kg of clothing or USD 6 per pair of shoes, then IVA and Fodinfa. The carrier files the simplified declaration in the Ecuapass system. We prepare the clearance paperwork free of charge and your purchase invoice travels with the box from the start. For updates: the SENAE customs website.
ID and billing
The 4×4 scheme is for natural persons with an Ecuadorian ID number (cédula), including resident foreigners who hold one; add the number to your shipment notes and we put it on the paperwork. Your invoice is in US dollars exactly as the calculator shows, which is Ecuador’s own currency, so there is no exchange difference and nothing is added after payment.

Questions from customers in Ecuador
It is Category B in Ecuadorian customs: a non-commercial package of no more than 4 kg and USD 400. It pays a flat USD 20 tariff per package plus the 0.5% Fodinfa levy on its value, capped at USD 1,600 per recipient per fiscal year. Consolidating your purchases with us into one box within both limits means you pay the tariff once.
It falls under Category C, up to 100 kg and USD 5,000, and pays duty by product plus 15% IVA and 0.5% Fodinfa. Clothing and footwear have their own category, capped at 20 kg and USD 2,000. Tell us the weight and value of your order and we tell you which category it falls under before you ship.
Yes, with conditions: one new phone per fiscal year for a natural person holding an Ecuadorian ID, entering under Category C rather than 4×4, with the carrier registering the IMEI in the declaration. Used or refurbished phones may not come by courier, so buy a new sealed unit.
The recipient’s Ecuadorian ID number (cédula), which is a condition for using the 4×4 scheme reserved for natural persons, including resident foreigners who hold an Ecuadorian ID. Add it to your shipment notes and we put it on the paperwork.
Economy takes 7–9 business days and Express 5–7 from the day the box leaves our receiving center, and the tracking number reaches you as soon as it ships. A package within its category limits clears on a simplified declaration, while one that exceeds them has its declaration rejected and is moved to temporary storage; that is why we review weight and value with you before shipping.
