A new decision by the President of Paraguay, published in the Official Gazette, changes the import regime for 115 processed agricultural products. These products will now have additional customs duties ranging from 4.3% to 20%, with a few exceptions for countries with the European Union and Free Trade Agreements. The purpose of this change is to protect and support domestic production. Additionally, the decision aims to implement more effectively the import of garlic, walnut, banana, tea, snack, and sunflower products without increasing customs duties, by applying a relative and fixed part of the customs tax. The changes will come into effect 15 days after the publication of the decision.
