Hola, mis amigos, it's Rodreego from the Ecuador Forum!

I arranged to have a couple friends bring down some of my personal items in storage in the States when they come down for a visit to me here, in Ecuador.

I just found out they're flying into Lima first and then (after picking up their own luggage) transferring to a flight to Quito.

My question is will they have to go through Lima Customs before transferring or, since they are making the transfer within the airport to a connecting flight, will they only have to go through Customs in Quito, their destination?

Appreciate any info you may have; like I'm having them bring me down a small, electric room heater, we have no trouble getting them into Ecuador but will that raise eyebrows there for Goodness knows whatever reason? Stuff like that.

Gracias!

Rodrego....

I think you have 2 posts on this heater.....
In this one you mention the States...
Listen,,, Voltage here in Peru is 220v. The only way you could use it is to get a converter from 110v [ US ] to 220v.
Problem is that heaters draw a LOT OF WATTS... so you need a converter that if you could find it would cost more than the heater is worth...
There are lots of heaters available here and full price not expensive,, on sale,,, even better...

ps,,, Your friends probably won't pick up luggage at Peru.. the bags will be transferred to their connecting flight.... and they themselves might not have to go through customs,,,

Somehow I think you have not thought this through....
