Sea Freight & Container Shipping to Ecuador

Are you looking to ship cargo containers from Canada to Ecuador? Our ocean transportation service from Canada to Ecuador covers all the major ports: Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Halifax, Montreal, Quebec, and Saint John. We offer door-to-door, door-to-port and port-to-port transportation services from Canada to Ecuador, depending on your specific needs.

With our door-to-door service you will be able to have your cargo delivered to different inland cities such as Quito, Cuenca, Santo Domingo de los Colorados, Ambato, Loja, Riobamba, and many others. We will transport your cargo via the Port of Guayaquil, the main and most convenient port in Ecuador.

● Full Container Load – FCL Shipping

Full Container Load (FCL) shipping provided by Latin American Cargo is a secure and efficient method for transporting cargo between Canada and Ecuador.

With FCL, the entire ocean container is filled with your merchandise, ensuring exclusive access and control over the packing and security of your goods. This method is considered one of the safest and most cost-effective ways to ship goods internationally.

FCL offers more control over shipping conditions and eliminates the need to share container space with other shipments. Our FCL ocean freight services give businesses the peace of mind that their goods are transported in a dedicated container, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of damage.

Our specialized service caters to the shipping needs of companies looking for reliable and controlled transportation for their cargo.

● Less than a Container Load – LCL Shipping

Less than a Container Load (LCL) shipping offered by Latin American Cargo is economical for transporting smaller cargo volumes. LCL is the way to go if you don’t have enough goods to fill an entire 20- or 40-foot ocean container.

LCL freight involves sharing container space with other customers shipping to the same destination, resulting in more affordable rates for shipping small quantities.

This method allows businesses to avoid the cost of shipping a full container while still benefiting from ocean freight services. LCL is particularly suitable for shipments that don’t require a dedicated container.

Our services provide a cost-effective option for businesses moving smaller cargo volumes from Canada to Ecuador, enhancing flexibility and affordability in international shipping.

● RORO Shipping (Roll-On/Roll-Off)

Do you need to move heavy machinery, construction equipment, large vehicles, yachts or any other oversized cargo that does not fit into a standard shipping container? Our RORO Shipping Service from Canada to Ecuador covers specialized equipment or vehicles such as cranes, skidders, dump trucks, generators, turbine blades or propellers. 

Our shipping experts have the required know-how to transport all these items and many more through RORO easily.

● Breakbulk & Project Cargo

Latin American Cargo offers fast, reliable breakbulk freight shipping services and project cargo logistics solutions. We safely transport your heavy-lift shipments and oversized cargo, such as machinery, mining equipment, out-of-gauge vehicles, and other valuable cargo from Canada directly to Ecuador.

Our special division of Project Cargo shipping experts is ready to assess you and arrange the shipment of your oversized loads with the highest efficiency, security and reliability levels.

Import and Custom Particulars

If you are shipping merchandise to Ecuador by sea or air for the first time, guidance and support will surely be needed, as there are guidelines, prohibitions and restrictions to consider.

What Paperwork is Needed for International Shipments to Ecuador?

Documentation requirements vary depending on the category of goods being shipped and can get quite extensive. They usually include a Commercial invoice, Bill of lading / Air waybill, Packing list, Insurance certificate, and Certificate of Origin (if required). To avoid delays or hassles when shipping to Ecuador, your packing list must be as detailed as possible. Vague wording like “miscellaneous” attracts negative attention and further inspections.

What Are the Regulations and Restrictions When Importing From Canada?

Regulations can be strict on certain categories of goods being imported to Ecuador. Prior authorization or special permits may be needed for certain items, such as agricultural products, processed foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or antiques. Prohibited commodities include certain used vehicles, used clothing and accessories, used tires, certainly used machinery and all types of toxic wastes or dangerous residues.

Duties and tariffs are usually based on the total value of the shipment in question, and depending on how well-documented the cargo is, those values could be determined by the judgment of Customs Officials on the spot.

Shipping cargo to Ecuador is easier with LAC as we have overcome these obstacles many times and have developed a thorough understanding of the customs procedures.
