Canada and Uruguay maintain a constructive trading relationship—driven by machinery and agri-food from Canada and meat, citrus, and seafood from Uruguay. As discussions toward a potential Canada–Mercosur agreement progress, bilateral trade is set to expand. Canadian firms count on low-cost, reliable parcel and freight solutions to reach customers and suppliers across Montevideo and beyond.
Uruguay’s stable political environment, prudent banking regulation, and strong foreign reserves underpin an attractive business climate. Jet Worldwide supports Canadian exporters with economy air, express courier, and ocean forwarding options—plus compliance guidance and transparent pricing.

Best for small personal parcels. Shipments injected by Canada Post are delivered locally by Uruguay’s postal operator.
Air options Canada to Montevideo and nationwide
International parcels move via partner networks (e.g., UPS) with Canadian pickup and billing.
Economy air for 5–30 kg cartons, heavier air freight, and ocean (LCL/FCL) with transparent pricing and guidance.
For 5–30 kg chargeable weight. Enter dimensions and weight to estimate transport cost to Uruguay from Canada. Results are indicative only; final charges depend on carrier program/discounts, fuel, delivery address, shipment size and other factors.
Chargeable weight = max(actual, volumetric). Volumetric (kg) = L × W × H (cm) ÷ 5000.
Costs shown are estimates intended to provide a rough idea only. Actual charges depend on carrier discounts, fuel surcharge, delivery address, shipment size and other factors.
All shipments require a commercial invoice (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.
Duties and taxes are typically assessed on the CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Learn how valuation affects landed cost: CIF explained.
Textiles and footwear can require non-automatic import licences. Apply prior to arrival to avoid demurrage; approvals are usually valid ~60 days.
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.
Compare program pricing. We’ll suggest alternatives if a different mode or carrier is a better fit.
