Moving & shipping

Your move
Sets your plan and the listings on flights, hotels, rentals, furnishings, moving and retirement.

What to ship versus sell depends on your tier and on Ecuador's import duties and furnished-rental market. Sea freight takes six to twelve weeks; air freight days; suitcases arrive with you.

  • Customs rules for household goods and the duty-free window after arrival.
  • Items that are restricted or pointless to ship (voltage, plug types, climate).
  • Insurance and inventory requirements.
