Ecuador: Trade Profile

Foreign Trade in Figures

Ecuador is open to foreign trade, especially after joining WTO. Ecuador applies a four-tiered tariff system:
- 5% for most raw materials and capital goods;
- 10-20% for intermediate goods;
- 20% for most consumer goods;
- Finally, a small number of products, including planting seeds, agricultural chemicals and veterinary products are duty-free.

Customs duties are relatively low. However, in spite of having become a member of the WTO, Ecuador has not been able to eliminate many of its non-tariff barriers. Importers are required to register with the Central Bank to obtain an import license and must also have authorizations from various government agencies. Ecuador also continues to maintain a pre-shipment inspection (PSI) regime for imports.

In 2010, Ecuador registered a trade deficit. Foreign trade is in fact very vulnerable to the fluctuations in the price of oil on international markets. The production of barrels per day decreased compared to the previous years. Oil exports represent over 50% of total exports. The global drop of crude oil prices and the recent reinforcement of the USD have certainly harmed the terms of exchange rate in the country and have produced tensions on the balance of payments. The government tries to attenuate the effect on the balance of payments by imposing restrictions in imports and establishing controls preventing capital outflow. The recent approval of the mining law should deliver more transparency to foreign investors. Moreover, Ecuador's legal system and the complex regulations of the country make business management very complicated and expensive.

However, if the country loses its access to financial markets or if the government cannot increase its income, most likely the USD exchange system will have to be abandoned and the currency will be devaluated, which could provoke an increase in export income and this would really discourage the growth of imports, eliminating in this way certain tensions in the balance of payments and allowing the government to use currency policy as an economic tool. On the other hand, this would mean a weak currency which will have a negative effect on inflation and on the balance of the private sector.

The main trading partners of the country are the United States (33.5% in 2009), Peru, Chili, Colombia and Russia.
