auto importation

Importation of a Car Duty Free – The car must not be sold for four years. It must be registered in Uruguay. You will need clear title in your name to effect the relocation of the car. The car needs to be insured as per Uruguay law for auto insurance.

I read something similar on a government of Uruguay site:

Art. 4°. Resuelta favorablemente por el Ministerio del Interior la solicitud de residencia permanente, la Dirección Nacional de Migración lo comunicará a la Dirección Nacional de Aduanas, a fin de que autorice la introducción de los muebles y enseres de la casa-habitación.

If you are seriously thinking of emmigrating to Uruguay and living there, in my opinion, there's no time like the present to familiarise yourself with the Uruguayan government sites. Ultimately, they are the "official word" of the government and the snatches of translated and interpreted things one can read on other sites may be missleading.

Art. 5°. Una vez que el interesado acredite haber dado cumplimiento a lo previsto en el literal B) del Art. 1° de este Decreto, la Dirección Nacional de Migración librará comunicaciones a la Dirección Nacional de Aduanas para la introducción del vehículo automotor y a la Dirección Nacional de Identificación Civil para la expedición de pasaportes.

Actually, it's this last part art 5°, the first part, art 4° is about chattels, that once you've been accepted, the dept of Immigration will direct the Customs department that you will be bringing in a vehicle (if you have one) and the Civil Identification Dept to expediate a passport.
