Cost of 20ft Container to Ship

[STEPHEN VAN OSDELL]

Does anyone know the approximate cost of shipping a 20ft container full of household goods? And this should include approximate import duties. How detailed (minutiae) does your list of contents need to be?

[SUZAN HASKINS]

I think it depends where it is being sent from and what is inside. You need to do a good inventory, but you don’t, for instance, need to say “8 forks” — you can say “kitchen untensils” — at least that’s what I’ve been told. it is probably best if you contact Sandra Baquero at Sandy_Baquero@hotmail.com. She is a customs broker and has helped many expats move their things to Ecuador.
