    As a veteran of the Marine Corps and a firearm user, what are the procedures or options for firearms in Ecuador ? Ammunition ? Can firearms be brought with shipped personal goods ?

    Firearms cannot be brought into the country with your container. Guns are not really part of Ecuadorian culture.

    Hi Ken,

    Like Edd mentioned, you cannot import guns into Ecuador. You can however obtain a license to own a firearm, but it will need to be bought in country and that tends to be very expensive as is ammunition. If you’re interested in this option I suggest contacting the local policia when you arrive and they can guide you in taking the steps needed to obtain a license and legal firearm.
