Details

Professional Camera is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Ecuador. Servicio Nacional de Aduana del Ecuador (SENAE) treats single-unit personal effects as routine; no declaration required unless quantities suggest commercial intent (typically 5+ identical units). Pacific Alliance / Mercosur / CAFTA-DR / USMCA / Andean Community preferential treatment for member-state goods. Personal-import duty-free threshold is 400 USD; carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 12% VAT.
