Why Paraguayan customers use Selectido
Paraguay has the lowest IVA in MERCOSUR (10%), a guaraní (PYG) that's relatively stable, and a long tradition of cross-border shopping at Ciudad del Este — but the local prestige beauty, US supplement, and Apple-priced electronics market is small. Mall Excelsior, Shopping del Sol and Paseo La Galería in Asunción carry plenty, but Sephora US, Whole Foods, and brand-name baby formula like Similac and Enfamil still need a US shopper. Selectido replaces the Foz do Iguaçu shopping run and the "amigo en Miami" pattern with live video shopping that ships directly via DHL or FedEx.
