And that's why we at Tarobá Hotel Foz gathered the most common questions asked by those who are going to travel to Foz do Iguaçu and shop in Paraguay, all in one post. Let's check it out?
What documents can I take to make purchases in Paraguay?
The documents accepted at Paraguayan customs are an ID with less than 10 years of issuance, a passport within its validity period or a CNH (National Driving License) also within its validity period.
What about minors?
If you are going to make a purchase in Paraguay with minors, the documents accepted are an ID that has been issued for less than 10 years, and a passport that is within its validity period, but they can only enter in the presence of both parents.
In the absence of one of the parents, you must have an authorization signed by the parent who will not be present on the trip and authenticated by a notary. Plan your trip to Foz do Iguaçu.

Purchase quotas in Paraguay
Many people are confused about the purchasing quota scheme, so let's explain a little. There are two quotas, land and air, let's talk a little about the land quota.
The total value of the quota is U$500,00. And this value is valid per person, over a period of one month, including children.
If the quota of 500 dollars is exceeded, the amount charged by the Federal Revenue Service is 50% of the excess amount, that is: if your purchase cost US$600,00
600 - 500 = 100
The amount charged will be US$50,00
And you must not forget to have the invoice for all the products you purchased in Paraguay on hand, without it, it is not possible to prove the value of what was purchased.
