Paraguay is a key transit and deployment location for IT and technical equipment in the Southern Cone. However, foreign companies cannot import directly without a local entity holding an active RUC (Registro Único del Contribuyente). We act as your legal IOR, managing DNIT customs, VAT settlement, and compliance so you don't need to establish a local presence.
Foreign companies lack the local taxpayer status required to submit import declarations. We assume these responsibilities to mitigate compliance risk.
To bring commercial equipment into Paraguay, customs authorities (Dirección Nacional de Aduanas) and the Subsecretaría de Estado de Tributación (SET) require a locally established IOR with specific compliance obligations. A Paraguayan legal entity with an active RUC (Registro Único del Contribuyente) is mandatory for all commercial import activities.
As your IOR, TFTIOR provides this structure. We assume the legal and fiscal responsibility for the import, ensuring your shipment clears customs without your organization needing to form a permanent local entity. This is particularly valuable for stuck shipments that have been held at the border due to missing tax IDs.
Only entities with an active RUC can file with customs. We provide our registered entity to act as the declarant.
The IOR is responsible for settling the 10% VAT and import duties directly with the tax authority (SET) upon entry.
Wireless and communication equipment requires homologation certificates from CONATEL to ensure legal entry.
The local IOR must submit the mandatory import declaration through the official system managed by the Dirección Nacional de Aduanas.
Correct classification under the Paraguayan tariff schedule (aligned with Mercosur's NCM) is essential for accurate duty calc.
Customs strictly verify that commercial invoices match the declaration. Any mismatch triggers immediate checks and delays.
We handle the entire lifecycle of the import process, from documentation processing to domestic logistics.
