Galapagos - Customs

Other Items:

• Firearms must be declared and will be sealed on board.
• Lists of products, sub-products, and derivatives of vegetable and animal origin regulated for entry into Galapagos are available here.

Importing Parts/Spares:

If ordering spare parts to be delivered to the Galapagos, expect long delays with Ecuador customs. Cruisers have reported waiting 3 weeks for express delivery, claiming “yacht in transit” will save some duty costs, but will also slow the process further. Duty charges might run to 33% or more depending on the item.
