Can my Paraguay company export soy to a buyer linked to Russia without breaching sanctions?

From a Paraguayan commercial and compliance perspective, your concern is valid. Transactions routed through intermediaries or third-country traders can create sanctions-related risks, particularly with international banks. To consider: a) Full identification of the buyer and intermediary (legal name and company registration details), b) Information on the ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs), c) Declaration of the end customer and final destination of the goods, d) Sanctions screening of all parties against international sanctions lists (OFAC, EU, UN), e) Clear commercial contract and invoices, accurately reflecting the parties and transaction structure, others. Additionally, it is advisable to keep records of the due diligence performed and confirm the payment structure with your bank in advance to reduce the risk of payment blocks or freezes.
