    Hi @robertotoro   

     

    I’m not sure I understand your point.  

    Technically, Puerto Rico is considered a territory of the US … as opposed to one of the states.  

     

    That said, Puerto Ricans are definitely citizens of the US … and shipping to PR is like shipping to one of the 50 states.

     

    A ‘protectorate’ is just another word for ‘territory’.  What issue are you having with PR being called a protectorate?  Is it causing you any specific difficulties we can help you with?

    Yes, you live in a US territory (but not a state). Often you'll see territories and protectorates grouped in the same list.

     

    I'm guessing you received this message because the seller doesn't ship to PR? (Check on the item listing's Shipping, returns, and payments tab.)
