Overview

Doing a steel project in Paraguay

Paraguay is in South America. The capital is Asunción. Local currency: Paraguayan guaraní (PYG).

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

Vietnam has no free trade agreement in force with Paraguay. Imports follow the general tariff of Paraguay, 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 Paraguay, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
