Exporting a vehicle to Paraguay is a little tricky, because the country is landlocked, meaning it has no coastline with any ocean. Therefore, no vehicles can be shipped directly to a port within Paraguay, but must instead be destined for a neighboring country like Argentina, and then shipped by truck from there to the final point of destination within Paraguay.

It’s also possible that river transportation might be arranged within Paraguay since it has several ports on the Paraguay River and one fair-sized port on the Parana River. Making the specific arrangements for further travel after reaching the destination port should be handled by your shipper. For this reason, it is quite important that you work with a shipper who is familiar with the Paraguayan transport system, so as to avoid long delays in getting the vehicle transported.
On the U.S. side, you’ll need to arrange to have your vehicle either driven to the port of departure, or picked up by your shipper for transport to the departure point. It will be cheaper if you drive the vehicle yourself, but when that is not possible, most shippers offer pick-up service.
Since the United States has such a lengthy coastline, transporting your automobile to one of the many ocean-going ports depends on your location. Choosing a shipper may be the first order of business because you'll need to ship from a port that the company serves.

Shipping Methods
The two main shipping methods for ocean-going vessels are container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO). Container shipping utilizes 20-ft or 40-ft long containers to encapsulate your vehicle for the trip overseas, and this method provides great protection from the elements and other hazards. It is also the more expensive of the two shipping methods, although the cost can be lowered somewhat by sharing a container with another vehicle.
RORO shipping leaves the vehicle exposed during transit, although lashed securely to the deck. Your car must be driven on and off the ship up and down a ramp, under its own power. This means it must be driveable and be filled with ¼ tank of gas, but no more than that. There must be nothing stowed inside the car, other than a spare tire and a tire jack, plus a set of keys in the glove box.
Requirements
Fortunately, there are few restrictions on vehicles entering the country at the moment, so there should not be problems with Paraguayan Customs. You will, however, have to pay a port duty at the destination port, and this will depend on exactly which port city is the destination.
Before leaving the U.S. you will have to clear the vehicle through domestic Customs, which means the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency. They will require you to provide proof of ownership by means of a bill of sale showing your name as the purchaser. You will also have to provide a clear title with no liens against the vehicle unless you also have written authorization from the lienholder indicating approval for export.
To avoid potential snags, U.S. Customs should be contacted long ahead of the time you intend to ship the vehicle. Any questions you might have about shipping to Paraguay can be asked of the Paraguayan Embassy in the U.S.

Whenever shipping internationally there are going to be specific requirements in order to ensure your cargo arrives safely and expediently. It depends largely on the type of freight being shipped and it’s overall size and weight. The dimensions of the cargo dictate what type of vessel and shipping method gets used, as explained below.
How We Get Your Freight To Paraguay
There are several options in getting your freight to Paraguay and they are all particular to the type of cargo being shipped. If your cargo is operable and able to self propel to and from the vessel’s hull, then you’re a candidate for RoRo Shipping (Roll On/Roll Off). Self explanatory, it allows your cargo to be placed on the ship under its own power and often times is the least expensive method of transport. If your freight is oversized and unable to fit into a 20 or 40 foot shipping container, then the LoLo method (Lift On/Lift Off) would be ideal. Requiring a crane operator, your cargo is lifted from the dock and placed on top of the cargo vessel.
If your oversized cargo can fit into a 40 foot shipping container, then container shipping would be an excellent route to go. Providing the most security and protection from the elements, your container would be stacked amongst many others on the vessel. Lastly you can ship your cargo via a flat rack which is a wall-less or topless shipping container allowing for uniquely shaped freight to be secured. Perfect for items too large for a standard container, you may want to consider shrink wrapping your cargo for added protection.
