Importing from China to Paraguay: importer register
Start with the Paraguayan importer: the Customs Code requires importers to be registered with customs. Ask your own broker to check the registration and confirm the final entry. We quote to your named seaport or border point, with onward transport agreed separately. China-side sourcing is handled by Cambridge China Bridge.

Check the Paraguayan importer before ordering
Paraguay's Customs Code states that importers and exporters must be registered with the national customs authority under the regulatory requirements. Before paying a factory deposit, identify the importer and ask your Paraguayan customs broker to verify its registration for the proposed purchase.
DNIT states that approved PVAA status appears on the updated taxpayer registration certificate. Ask your broker to check that evidence and confirm the appropriate registration route for your circumstances. Send us the importer's details and broker contact alongside the product brief.
Check the product separately from the importer
MIC's footwear importer-registration page says that registration is a prerequisite for obtaining the prior import licence. If you are buying footwear, ask your broker to check this separate step before committing to production.
For your exact goods, request a written checklist covering any applicable product registration, certification, testing and labelling. Give the broker the model, materials, intended use and proposed packaging. We use the agreed checklist to request factory evidence and prepare artwork for your approval.
Name the seaport or border point in the quote
Paraguay is landlocked. Tell us the seaport or border point you want priced, together with the final delivery address for planning. Our quote identifies the named handover point, delivery term and included freight and insurance. Agree the onward leg separately, including who arranges transport and pays intermediate handling charges.
The overseas buying guide explains the wider purchasing arrangement. For comparisons involving other destinations, consult the Brazil guide or Peru guide, then have your broker assess the actual route into Paraguay.
Prepare the documents your broker will use
We coordinate the commercial invoice and packing list with the Chinese factory and agreed seller. Ask your broker to review the invoice structure when the UK company sells goods dispatched directly from China. Match the seller, buyer, goods description, quantities, carton details and shipment references across the drafts.
We arrange a certificate of origin with the exporter when agreed and collect available factory test reports, checking their connection to the ordered model. Your own broker confirms the final entry and document pack. Agree that the broker handles classification, declarations, applicable duties and taxes, and clearance on arrival; the forwarder coordinates the transport document.

Verify the supplier and inspect before shipment
Our own staff in China check the supplier's identity, actual production site, equipment and ability to make the specified goods. We identify subcontracted work and compare samples with the written specification. The buying through a UK company service explains how to arrange the purchasing relationship.
Before shipment, we inspect finished goods against the approved sample, agreed specification, packaging and label artwork. Record defects, corrective work and your release decision before dispatch. Factory audits and inspections are usually included in the quote; complex checks that need a third party are charged separately and agreed in advance.
