Send Packages to Uruguay

Welcome to MDE, your reliable partner for shipping international packages. Below, we offer you a detailed guide on the features, costs and key considerations when sending a package from Europe to Uruguay. Our mission is to provide you with a transparent, efficient and secure shipping experience.

Proper packaging

  1. Packaging Materials: We use strong boxes and cushioning materials such as air bubbles, kraft paper or packing peanuts.
  2. Sealing: All boxes are protected with film and sealed with strong adhesive tape and stickers.
  3. Reusable boxes: We try to reuse boxes whenever we can to reduce our pollution footprint as much as possible.
  4. Repackaging: If you need to change the packaging of your goods, we are here to help you.

We take care of your merchandise as if they were our own!

Costs, times and shipping options

  • Carriers: We only work with trusted and guaranteed carriers, such as DHL, UPS, TNT, Fedex and other locations in each country where we operate.
  • Shipping addresses: You can send to the carrier's home or collection point.
  • Shipping Costs: Find out about shipping rates depending on the weight, size of the package and the chosen service. You can calculate the shipping costs using the transportation quote.
  • Estimated Deadlines:
    • Delivery times vary depending on the carrier and the service selected.
    • On average, shipments from Europe to Uruguay take between 5 to 10 business days.
  • Shipping Options:
    • Standard delivery: Economical but with longer delivery times.
    • Delivery with stopover: Combination of couriers with stopover at a warehouse in the network so that you save as much as possible, with longer delivery times.
    • Express delivery: More expensive but guarantees faster deliveries.
  • Shipping Insurance:
    • Basic insurance included. In case of incidents, €6.67/kg domestic and €10/kg international will be covered.
    • Optional premium insurance with full coverage starting from the declared value of the package.

All shipments have a tracking number included!

Restrictions and Regulations

Prohibited items: Uruguay completely bans:

  • Drugs and precursors: absolute prohibition.
  • Weapons and ammunition without Defence Ministry authorisation.
  • Counterfeit currency and obscene material.

Restricted items: With permits or limits:

  • Medicines: prescription and personal use (the MSP caps quantities); controlled ones need prior authorisation.
  • Food and animal/plant-origin products: the MGAP controls fresh goods, seeds and meats; packaged goods usually pass within personal allowances.
  • Radio equipment: consumer devices enter; powerful transmitters need URSEC.
  • Phones: enter normally, but remember the allowance is value-based: one flagship eats a big chunk of your US$800 on its own.

Customs procedures

  • Package review: Uruguay's Dirección Nacional de Aduanas (DNA) runs the courier channel with an allowance regime renewed in May 2026: if you read guides about the old "3 shipments of US$200 fully tax-free", they no longer apply.
  • The current allowance (since May 2026): Each person gets US$800 per year, spread over up to 3 shipments (max 20 kg each), tied to their ID (cédula). Within the allowance the shipment is exempt from duties but pays the 22% VAT.
  • The VAT exception: Purchases from countries with a specific agreement (the relevant case is the US via TIFA) on platforms registered with the DNA can enter VAT-free too. Purchases from Europe pay the 22% within the allowance.
  • Example: A €300-equivalent European order inside your allowance pays 22% VAT and zero duty. The same shipment outside the allowance is taxed under the general courier regime (~60% of CIF): managing your US$800 wisely is still half the purchase.
  • Payment and timing: The courier settles the VAT when due and collects on delivery. Express from Europe: 3-6 working days to Montevideo.
  • Additional documentation: Invoice with real value and the shipment in the real recipient's name and cédula: the DNA system deducts the allowance per ID.
  • MDE tip: Plan your US$800 per year in 3 well-used waves (around US$266 and up to 20 kg each): one freight per wave and zero duty. Your locker accumulates; you decide when to fire each shipment.

Frequently asked questions about shipping to Uruguay

What items cannot be sent to Uruguay?

Está prohibido enviar explosivos, drogas, armas de fuego, productos perecederos sin permisos, y ciertos medicamentos sin autorización del Ministerio de Salud Pública.

Do I need to declare the contents and value of the package?

Yes, it is mandatory to declare the contents and actual value of the package. Since May 2026, each person has an annual franchise of 800 USD (up to 3 shipments per year), exempt from tariffs; Under it only VAT of 22% is applied.

What happens if my package contains restricted items?

Los productos restringidos, como alimentos o medicamentos, pueden requerir permisos adicionales del Ministerio de Salud o el INAC. Si no tienen los permisos correspondientes, podrían ser retenidos.

What additional costs can I expect when sending a package to Uruguay?

Within your annual allowance (US$800 in up to 3 shipments, per ID) you pay only the 22% VAT, with no duties: a US$300 order adds US$66. Once the allowance is used up or exceeded, the shipment is taxed under the general courier regime (~60% of CIF). Regime in force since May 2026; the quoting tool shows the real cost before you buy.

How long does it take for a package to arrive in Uruguay?

Los envíos exprés pueden tardar entre 3 a 5 días, mientras que los envíos estándar pueden demorar entre 7 a 15 días.

What should I do if my package is detained at customs?

If your package is detained in customs, you will generally receive a notification with instructions to follow. This may include providing additional documentation or paying duties and taxes. It is advisable to contact the courier service for assistance.

How can I track my package?

When shipping a package, be sure to get a tracking number from the courier. You can use this number to track the package through the carrier's website and get updates on its status.

What documents do I need to send a package to Uruguay?

Generally, you will need a commercial invoice or contents declaration, and a customs form. For certain items, additional permits or certifications may be required.

Can I send gifts to Uruguay and how should I declare them?

Yes, declared at real value and in the recipient's name and ID (cedula): the gift consumes the recipient's allowance. Within their annual quota (US$800 / 3 shipments) it pays only the 22% VAT and zero duties; outside the allowance, the general regime (~60%). Check with them how much allowance they have left.

How to handle customs procedures in Uruguay?

When shipping to Uruguay, MDE facilitates the self-management of the customs proforma to avoid problems. Remember that you must correctly declare the content and its value.

How does the Uruguayan allowance work since May 2026?

The historic scheme changed: each person now has US$800 per year, spread over up to 3 shipments (max 20 kg each), tied to their cedula. Within the allowance you pay no duties, but you do pay the 22% VAT (except purchases from the US via TIFA on DNA-registered platforms, which can also be VAT-exempt). Outside the allowance, the far pricier general courier regime applies.

How much do I pay for a European purchase within the allowance?

The 22% VAT and nothing else: a US$300 order pays US$66 and enters duty-free. The full VAT exemption is only for the registered US/TIFA channel; from Europe the 22% always applies within the allowance. Still far better than the general regime (~60%): the quoting tool gives the exact breakdown.

Can I use a relative's allowance if I used up my US$800?

The shipment must go in the name and cedula of the person receiving it, and it consumes THEIR annual allowance: you cannot "borrow" quota while receiving yourself. If your family shops from Europe, each member has their own US$800 a year: coordinating quotas multiplies what enters duty-free.
