That depends on the customs relationship between Uruguay and Ecuador. Parcels moving inside one customs territory, such as between two EU member states, need no declaration. They attract no import duty and no import VAT.
Where the corridor crosses a customs border, a declaration accompanies every parcel. Booking from Uruguay generates the required form from the contents and value you enter. The recipient in Ecuador pays any import duty and local VAT on arrival. Customs calculates both on the declared value. Declare honestly.

Gifts below the local de-minimis threshold are often exempt from duty. Ecuador sets that threshold, not the carrier. Restrictions on excise goods such as alcohol and tobacco apply on every corridor. They apply even inside the EU.
