Paraguay Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Paraguay carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 301 forced-labor baseline (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026) applied to countries without a separate deal, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. The 10% Section 122 tariff (effective Feb 24, 2026) expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026 and was replaced the same day by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10%, or 12.5% for higher-tier economies).

Paraguay Import Tariff Overview
Goods from Paraguay face a 10% base US tariff — the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (standard tier) that replaced the expired 10% Section 122 reciprocal tariff on July 24, 2026 — with no bilateral US free trade agreement.
Paraguay is a landlocked Mercosur member, and the bloc's common external tariff limits its ability to negotiate independent FTAs. Its US trade is modest but growing, shipped largely via the Paraná-Paraguay river system. Agriculture and light assembly (maquila) drive most of its export base.
Key Products Imported from Paraguay
Top US imports include soybeans and soybean meal, beef, sugar, wood and charcoal, sesame seed, yerba mate, leather and hides, cotton, and assembled electrical wire harnesses.
Recent Changes
The 10% Section 122 reciprocal tariff expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10% standard tier), while the $800 de minimis exemption is eliminated for all shipments. Mercosur membership continues to complicate any prospective bilateral US deal.
Tips for Importers
With no FTA, accurate classification is the main lever; agricultural commodities carry low MFN rates, so the 10% base dominates their landed cost. Maquila wire-harness assembly can warrant a first-sale valuation review to lower the dutiable value. Importers who paid IEEPA duties in 2025 should check CAPE refund eligibility.
How Are US Tariffs on Paraguay Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Paraguay are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the 10% Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced the expired 10% Section 122 tariff on July 24, 2026 and applies to most countries without a separate trade deal. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the forced-labor tariff.
