I would have loved to import my moto and would have paid the required taxes and fees for it, but it's not legal for non-Ecuadorians to do. While I do own it, my moto was stored and never used after Covid and therefore was technically illegal or "irregular." During this time I paid lawyers to try to legalize my moto by working the system conflict of giving resident visas for immigrants, but not permitting importation. After years of no joy, this "OP" just tried to leave.
