## Customs & Import Costs in Uruguay

All shipments require a [commercial invoice](https://www.jetworldwide.com/blog/preparing-invoices-for-customs-clearance-and-cci) (and packing list as applicable). Uruguay applies the MERCOSUR Common External Tariff (CET) for many goods, with *preferential rates* on certain capital goods and projects of national interest. Average applied duty is often cited around the low-to-mid teens, but some items can exceed 30% depending on HS code.

### Valuation (CIF)

Duties and taxes are typically assessed on the **CIF value** (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Learn how valuation affects landed cost: [CIF explained](https://www.jetworldwide.com/blog/declared-value-cif-and-valuation-for-international-shipping).

### Licensing (selected products)

Textiles and footwear can require **non-automatic import licences**. Apply prior to arrival to avoid demurrage; approvals are usually valid ~60 days.

## Air vs. Ocean: Choosing a Mode

- **Canada Post: **Best for individuals shipping personal packages
- **Air courier / economy air (5–30 kg):** fastest door-to-door for cartons and small batches
- **Air freight:** A good option for palletized freight and shipments over 100 kg 
- **LCL ocean:** share container space; add time for consolidation/de-consolidation.
- **FCL ocean:** best for high cubic loads and predictable lead times.

## Incoterms & Who Pays Duties/Taxes

Default for many parcels is EXW/“DDU-style”: the consignee pays import fees. Many couriers support **DDP** (shipper prepays duties/taxes) for frictionless delivery—useful for B2C. See: [Incoterms for parcels](https://www.jetworldwide.com/blog/incoterms-and-shipping-international-packages-ddp-ddu-exw).
