Business, Uruguay

Is it even possible to get goods shipped internationally on a small scale? I was a doing a little research and wondering how it would work.

No trackbacks.

Do you want to ship TO or FROM Uruguay?

I find that that postal service EMS (in the USA Express Mail) works best. DHL, UPS, Fedex have more issues with customs.

If you want to SHIP TO Uruguay the taxes can be very expensive on top of the shipping.

SHIPPING FROM Uruguay is not difficult, but I can't address import tax issues in the USA, though small gifts I've sent to family have never had any problems.

Well from what I read in other posts the shipping INTO Uruguay has a major import tax attached to it. It is something in the range of 60% import tax.

To me that's utterly ridiculous. I just can't imagine anyone having to pay a 60% tax on a birthday or christmas gift. What kind of insanity is that?

I was thinking of buying from Uruguay and getting it shipped to the US. It is amazing that the tax is that high to ship to Uruguay. I couldn't imagine paying out that much money.

If it is small and not too expensive I think your only worry is the cost of shipping. If it is large or expensive, read up on the U.S. Customs website about import taxes in the USA... and have some asprin handy as you'll probably get a huge headache trying to figure that out!
