Lithium Power Bank is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Paraguay.
Details
Lithium Power Bank is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Paraguay. Dirección Nacional de Aduanas treats single-unit personal effects as routine; no declaration required unless quantities suggest commercial intent (typically 5+ identical units). Pacific Alliance / Mercosur / CAFTA-DR / USMCA / Andean Community preferential treatment for member-state goods. Personal-import duty-free threshold is 100 USD; carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 10% VAT.
Leaving with this item
Power banks may be taken out of Paraguay freely but must travel in cabin baggage — lithium battery aviation rules, not customs, are the constraint.
IATA dangerous goods
Lithium Power Bank is classified under Class 9 — Miscellaneous dangerous goods. Cabin and checked-baggage limits apply on top of customs rules.
Practical advice
Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. Dirección Nacional de Aduanas publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://www.aduana.gov.py/.
