Pallet shipping from Spain
to Ecuador
Several suppliers from Spain consolidated into one professionally built pallet, export documentation done once, and air freight for an order that cannot wait for a container. Ecuador is a market tied to Spain by one of the largest immigrant communities in Spain, buying Spanish capital goods, industrial machinery and vehicles under the EU trade agreement. Quoted per shipment on the Business plan.

The European price works at pallet scale. Parcel by parcel, it evaporates.
Paying your supplier costs 5% before the goods move
Ecuador's currency outflow tax (ISD) applies to transfers abroad, including payments for imports: 5% general rate in 2026, with 2.5% or 0% only for tariff lines on official lists. It sits outside customs, so factor it into landed cost on top of duty, FODINFA and IVA.
The supplier quotes ex-works and stops there
The Spain manufacturer or distributor with the right price has a domestic sales desk, not an export one. It will deliver to an address in its own country without blinking.
Loose parcels destroy the freight economics
A dense commercial order shipped box by box pays courier pricing on every box. Consolidated onto one properly built pallet, the same order is weighed, documented and priced once.

What our clients palletize from Spain
What leaves Spain on a pallet to Ecuador
Spain exports the kind of goods that fill a pallet rather than a parcel: Castellón ceramics and Porcelanosa surfaces, HPL and technical panels, Zara Home and Maisons du Monde interiors, Leroy Merlin building materials, gym and hospitality equipment. Dense, heavy, and bought in the quantity a project or a resale order needs.
The blocker is rarely the supplier's willingness to sell. It is that a Spanish factory or distributor is set up to invoice and deliver domestically, and an overseas buyer is not the customer its logistics were designed for. Giving that supplier a local address turns the export problem back into the domestic delivery it already knows how to do.
From there it is ours, and it is physical. Everything is received and checked against your order, photographed, weighed and measured. Fragile faces get edge protection and corner boards; heavy items go to the base and the weight is distributed so the load travels square; the stack is strapped and wrapped, and wood packaging is ISPM-15 treated. Then the paperwork happens once for the whole pallet instead of once per parcel: one commercial invoice matching the contents, one packing list, real weights and dimensions.
- A local address in the origin country, so the supplier ships domestically.
- Consolidation across as many suppliers as the order needs.
- Professional palletizing: edge protection, weight distribution, strapping, ISPM-15 wood.
- One commercial invoice and one packing list for the whole shipment.
- Air consolidation, quoted per shipment on the Business plan.
Importing into Ecuador as a company: 15% IVA, 0.5% FODINFA, 5% ISD and the EU agreement
A pallet of company stock enters Ecuador as a formal import for consumption, declared in ECUAPASS through a SENAE-accredited customs broker; courier categories for personal parcels don't apply. Ad valorem duty varies by tariff line and is calculated on the customs value excluding freight. FODINFA of 0.5% applies on CIF, and IVA of 15% on CIF plus duty, FODINFA and any ICE.
Under the EU agreement, in force for Ecuador since 1 January 2017, most EU-origin lines reach 0% in 2026 when valid proof of origin is presented. Paying your supplier abroad is generally subject to the 5% ISD. We consolidate, palletize and prepare one commercial invoice and packing list; your broker classifies and files the entry, and you pay duties and taxes in Ecuador. Planning baseline, not a ruling.
- Importer: RUC from the SRI, an electronic-signature certificate and registration in SENAE's ECUAPASS portal.
- The import declaration is transmitted by a SENAE-accredited agente de aduana (official gob.ec procedure).
- Goods covered by technical regulations need control documents such as the INEN Certificate of Recognition, requested through the VUE before clearance.
- EU preference needs an EUR.1 certificate or an origin declaration on the invoice — any exporter up to €6,000 per consignment, an approved exporter above that.
- Wooden pallets must carry the ISPM 15 (NIMF 15) mark; Agrocalidad inspects, and unmarked wood can be treated, destroyed or re-shipped at the importer's cost.
| Component | Rate | Base |
|---|---|---|
| Ad valorem duty (standard) | Varies by tariff line (some lines mixed ad valorem + specific) | Customs value excluding freight |
| Ad valorem duty (EU origin + proof of origin) | 0% on most lines in 2026; remaining lines low and phasing out | Customs value excluding freight |
| FODINFA | 0.5% | CIF |
| ICE (excise) | Only for listed goods, variable | Depends on the good |
| IVA (VAT) | 15% | CIF + duty + FODINFA + ICE |
| ISD (currency outflow tax, not customs) | 5% general; 2.5% or 0% for listed tariff lines | Amount transferred abroad |

What we publish, and what we will not pretend
Three operations are published on this site with their real figures. An HPL pallet: 150 panels, 296 kg, one pallet, the logistics bill in full, 17 days documented door to door. A gym fit-out: 24 packages, 317 kg, consolidated into a single pallet. And an elevator shipment: two door leaves at 78 kg each plus a 124 kg motor, 280 kg. The first two ran Spain → Mexico; the third, Spain → Colombia.
None of them ran to Ecuador. We show them because the operation is identical whatever is on the pallet and wherever it lands — receive from several suppliers, check against the order, build and document one shipment, fly it, hand a clean entry to the importer's broker. What we will not do is attach those numbers to a lane they did not run on.
Your shipment gets quoted on your weight, your volume, your route and your pickup. Transit is an orientative band anchored on those cases, never a delivery promise.
What Resendify does for a business, and what it does not
Being precise about the boundary is more useful than a list of promises. We operate receiving warehouses across ten countries — Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Türkiye, the Czech Republic, the United States, China and Hong Kong — so your suppliers deliver domestically, which is what most of them are set up to do.
We check goods in, store them while an order builds across several suppliers, repack when the original packaging is not built for an international leg, consolidate into one shipment, and produce the export documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, real weights and dimensions, and the supplier origin documents that decide whether you pay a preferential duty rate or a full one.
What we are not is your customs broker in the destination country, a distributor, or a party to your trade terms. We do not clear goods on your behalf at destination, we do not hold stock we sell you, and we do not negotiate or guarantee terms with brands.
We also do not quote transit times we cannot control, and we do not tell you your goods will clear without charges. The Business plan exists precisely because a recurring importer needs a quote-based setup rather than a consumer membership: tailored workflows for repeat imports, room for packaging and repacking, volume-oriented planning and commercial support on request.
- Receiving warehouses in 10 countries so suppliers deliver domestically
- Check-in, storage while an order builds, and repacking for the international leg
- Consolidation into one shipment with commercial invoice, packing list, weights and dimensions
- We chase supplier origin declarations — the document that decides preferential duty
- We are not your destination customs broker, not a distributor, and not a party to your trade terms
- Business plan is quote-based: tailored workflows for repeat imports, volume-oriented planning
Pallets from Spain to Ecuador: what buyers ask
A single pallet is the format, not a minimum we tolerate. You can start with one order; recurring or larger programmes move to the Business plan, which is quote-based precisely because pallet operations differ too much for a fixed membership.
We will not print a delivery promise, because pickup, consolidation and customs clearance are real variables. The anchors we can show are the published cases: the HPL pallet documented 17 days door to door and the gym fit-out ran approximately Day 0 to around Day 15. Read that as an orientative band on the order of 1–3 weeks for air shipments — orientative, not a promise, and from the lanes those cases actually ran.
We receive in ten countries, so a mixed order is normal. What we will not do is pretend it is free: moving goods between our warehouses to build one pallet is a real cost and gets quoted as a visible line. Sometimes two pallets from two origins beat one consolidated pallet, and we will say so.
Yes. In Ecuador the wooden platform a load travels on is often called a paleta, and the quote, the paperwork and the handling are the same. We build your consolidated load on ISPM-15 treated wood, the international standard for wood packaging.
Volume and rhythm change what you need. A consumer account is built around occasional parcels; a business buying every month needs storage that fits a build-up across suppliers, packing decisions made per shipment, documentation that a customs agent can file without chasing you, and a quote rather than a fixed membership. That is what the Business plan is for, and it is priced per case because a pallet of tools every month and a monthly box of collectibles are not the same operation.
No. Clearance at destination is done by you or your customs broker, and that is deliberate: local clearance requires local licensing and local liability. What we do is the European side and the paperwork that makes clearance straightforward — a consolidated shipment, a commercial invoice that matches the goods, a packing list, real weights and dimensions and the supplier's origin documents.
Talk to us about the specific supplier before you plan around it. Some situations are simply a delivery address problem, which your European address solves outright. Others involve trade accounts or territorial agreements that are between you and the brand, and no forwarder can resolve those — we would rather tell you which one you are facing than take the order and find out later.
Other pallet lanes
The origin hub: what leaves Spain on a pallet and how the consolidation works.
a market where Spanish hotel chains hold more than half of the tourist accommodation supply and over 200 Spanish-capital companies operate, according to CEOE
a regional logistics hub where Spain ranks as the seventh supplier and the sixth investor by stock, according to CEOE
a Central American market where EU-origin goods can qualify for preferential duty under the EU–Central America Association Agreement, applied there since October 2013
Many suppliers in, one documented shipment out — one freight and one customs entry.
