Overview

Doing a steel project in Bolivia

Bolivia is in South America. The capital is Sucre. Local currency: Bolivian boliviano (BOB).

Bolivia has no coastline: shipments arrive through a seaport in a neighbouring country (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru) and continue by road or rail.

Vietnam has no free trade agreement in force with Bolivia. Imports follow the general tariff of Bolivia, which is checked for each project in the landed cost estimate.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Bolivia, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
