Shipping from the USA to Paraguay
Gelle Transport arranges freight from the United States to Paraguay through vetted international air and ocean partners, building on our experience as a Kansas City trucking company since 2014. We collect your cargo in the US, prepare it for export, book the international leg and coordinate arrival in Paraguay, with routing and availability confirmed before every booking.
South American import procedures can be detailed, often requiring importer registration and specific invoice formats. Miami is a major air and ocean gateway for the region.
Air freight to Paraguay
Air cargo from the United States to Paraguay normally arrives at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU). Air freight is the best choice for urgent, compact and high-value shipments such as electronics, spare parts, documents and medical supplies. Typical door-to-door transit from the USA to this region is about 3–8 days, depending on the origin airport, connections and customs clearance. Air cargo is charged on chargeable weight — the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight.
Sea freight to Paraguay
Paraguay has no seaport of its own (Landlocked — river barges via Buenos Aires or Montevideo). Ocean cargo sails to a neighbouring port, then moves inland by road or rail under customs transit. Declaring Paraguay as the final destination from the very start is essential, so the cargo is not cleared — and taxed — in the transit country. Typical ocean transit to the region is about 2–6 weeks, plus inland transit time.
Customs and import documents for Paraguay
Paraguay is part of MERCOSUR, the South American trade bloc with a common external tariff. Import licensing and documentation requirements can be detailed, so we recommend confirming them early.
Most shipments to Paraguay need the following. Product-specific requirements vary, so we confirm them before your cargo leaves the US:
- Commercial invoice with item values
- Detailed packing list
- Bill of lading or air waybill
- Importer registration / tax ID in Paraguay
- Certificates of origin or conformity where required
- Permits for regulated goods (food, medicines, chemicals)
Import duties and taxes are assessed in Paraguay in the local currency (Paraguayan guaraní (PYG)) and are normally paid by the importer. US export rules also apply — some goods, technologies and destinations need an export licence.
