About Paraguay

Paraguay is a landlocked country located in central South America. Its official languages are Spanish and Guaraní. The national economy is largely driven by agriculture, livestock production, and hydroelectric energy.

The spirits market

Alcohol is legal in Paraguay, with retail distribution handled privately to buyers aged 20 and older, while imports require registration with INAN and DNIT. Distilled spirits face a 20% import duty, an 11% excise tax on products over 30% ABV, and 10% VAT. Domestic producers primarily manufacture caña paraguaya, rum, aguardiente de caña, and licores artesanales. This low combined tax burden creates opportunities for exporters supplying premium imported whisky, gin, and vodka.
