Ship Machinery to Paraguay
Paraguay is landlocked, so machinery crosses the ocean to Buenos Aires and continues by river barge up the Paraná-Paraguay waterway to Asunción or Villeta. Meridian Freight handles pickup, dismantling, packing, export documents and the international freight; your despachante clears the machine in Paraguay. Under Ley 7565/2025, used farm machinery entering Paraguay may be no more than five years old.
Route Details
What You Need to Know
Paraguay is landlocked — shipments cross the ocean to Buenos Aires, then transfer to river barges on the Paraná-Paraguay waterway to Asunción or Villeta; some buyers route through Paranaguá (Brazil) or Montevideo instead. Current carrier rates to Asunción show 49-64 days from US ports and 30-40 days by 40HC from the Chicago rail ramp; the river schedule is confirmed by the carrier and barge operator. Ley 7565/2025 limits used agricultural machinery to five years from its year of manufacture, and your despachante confirms how each requirement applies today, along with the import registration, duties and taxes. ISPM-15 wood packaging is mandatory. Air freight is available for urgent parts via Asunción airport.
