Luggage Shipping to Uruguay
Send your possessions to Uruguay to enjoy an extended trip without having to compromise on the amount of luggage you have with you. Or you can use Send My Bag when moving abroad to Uruguay to ship your things to your new home.
The maximum size of suitcase/box meant that I couldn’t send 15 kg of clothing for the advertised price, as the size of box required to hold it was beyond the size limit.
Box arrived in Melbourne three days early and I only had two hours’ notice of its delivery. Fortunately, even though it was late evening, the helpline managed to contact the driver and the box was redelivered on the original promised date.
Important Uruguay Customs Information
Holiday baggage and other time sensitive packages should not be sent on this route.
The volume of shipments sent to this destination across the last 12 weeks has not been sufficient to meet our minimum number of on time shipments required for holiday baggage approval.
On this route you are required to visit the destination country’s official customs website and make yourself aware of any requirements, processes or fees, which may be due based on your personal circumstances and what you are shipping.
Upon arrival in the destination you agree to comply with any customs processes, provide the customs authority with any information they request and to discuss the clearance of the shipment directly with the customs authority or our delivery partner in the destination.
General Customs Information
Personal effects are usually assessed as used items which have been in the sender's possession for 6 months or more. If your bag is checked by customs and is found to contain brand new or commercial items your shipment may be assessed for customs duties and taxes. If you are sending Christmas gifts please check with the destination country so you are aware of potential customs duties, follow their advice and attach all necessary documentation.
In order to demonstrate your shipment is personal effects you will be required to complete a brief non generic packing list online, entries to be made in the format: "5 x Cotton T-Shirts, 2 x Jeans, 3 x Cotton Shirt" and so on rather than as "10 x Used Clothing".
Customs processes and allowances do vary by country and as such we advise all travellers take 5 minutes to check how their personal circumstances and what they are sending will be assessed under the prevailing customs regulations of the destination.
More information is available on our customs information page.
