I want to start an online shop selling imported skincare and makeup to customers in Paraguay. I’m not sure if I need a health registration, importer authorisation, or a specific commercial licence, and I want to avoid seizures or fines at customs. What is the usual process, timeline, and typical costs?

In Paraguay, to sell imported skincare and makeup you need: a) Health registration or notification before DINAVISA (depending on the product), b) To act as a locally authorized importer, c) An import license for each shipment and d) A local registered company. Key risk: Without prior registration, goods may be held or seized at customs. You should complete regulatory compliance before importing to avoid fines or losses.
