SUMAK

Cutting-Edge Tech Just a Click Away

Bring the Latest from the USA to Ecuador, Hassle-Free

At Sumak Global Trade, we bridge the gap between your drive for innovation and the best stores in the USA. Import laptops, smartphones, components, and consoles with the peace of mind that they will reach your hands in record time.

Buying technology abroad is simple when you know the rules. Category B is the preferred choice for our clients in Ecuador:

Master Guide: Importing under Category B (4×4)

• What is 4×4?: It is a benefit for individuals that allows you to import packages weighing up to 4 kg (approx. 8.8 lbs) with a commercial value of up to $400.
• Taxes: You only pay a flat fee of $42 per shipment.
• Quota: You have an annual quota of up to $1,600 or 24 packages (whichever comes first).
• Restriction: Strictly for personal use (non-commercial).

Sumak Pro Tip: If your laptop or high-end equipment exceeds $400, don’t stop! We handle Category C for commercial imports or higher-value items. Ask us for a personalized quote.

Expert Tips for Your Tech Purchases

Before you click «Buy,» follow these steps to secure your investment:

📱 For Smartphones

1. Homologation: Ensure the model is approved for use in Ecuador or is easy to register.
2. Network Bands: Verify that it is «Factory Unlocked» and compatible with local 4G/5G networks.
3. Condition: If shopping on Amazon, look for the «Amazon Renewed» seal to save money with a quality guarantee.

💻 For Laptops

1. Weight Matters: An average laptop weighs about 2.5 kg. You still have 1.5 kg left in your 4×4 quota to bring a mouse, headphones, or an SSD.
2. Keyboard: Remember that most laptops in the USA come with an English keyboard layout (no «Ñ» key).
3. Protection: At SUMAK, we provide reinforced packaging for your delicate equipment to ensure 100% safe transit.
