Important Uruguay Customs Information
General Customs Information
The majority of countries offer consignees a duty-free allowance for personal effects, which are normally considered to be used items that have been in the sender's possession for 6 months or more. This means that most Send My Bag shipments are not stopped by customs.
To show customs officials that your shipment consists of personal effects, you must complete a brief non-generic packing list online, with entries to be made in the following format: "1 x Pair Leather Sandals, 4 x Linen Shirt, 5 x Cotton T-Shirt", and so on, rather than as "10 x Used Clothing".
If brand new or commercial items are found by Uruguayan customs, your shipment may be assessed for customs duties and taxes. If you are sending Christmas gifts to Uruguay please check with local customs so you are aware of any customs duties that need to be paid, follow any advice given and attach all necessary documentation.
As customs processes and allowances vary by country, we ask travellers to take 5 minutes to check how their personal circumstances and what they are sending will be viewed under prevailing Uruguayan customs regulations.
More information is available on our customs information page.
