Good News: ISD Dropped to 2.5% — What Importers of Inputs in Ecuador Need to Know
On May 31, 2026, the ISD Agreement 0035 went into effect—a measure that reduces the Foreign Currency Outflow Tax (ISD) from 5% to 2.5% for more than 1,100 tariff subheadings corresponding to productive inputs.
What does this mean in practice?
If you make an import worth $10,000, your ISD payment drops from $500 to $250 — a 50% savings on this tax.
Which companies benefit?
Factories, manufacturing companies, and businesses that import machinery, chemicals, and inputs for production within Ecuador.
How do you know if your products qualify?
The measure applies to specific subheadings on the official list.
