IVA 10% — la ventaja MERCOSUR
Paraguay tiene el IVA más bajo del MERCOSUR (10% vs 21% Argentina, 22% Uruguay, ~17% promedio Brasil). Sumá la franquicia courier de USD $100 y los envíos personales con Selectido a Asunción o Ciudad del Este salen estructuralmente más baratos que cualquier opción comparable en la región. Tradicionalmente eso atraía la caminata por Foz/CDE — hoy mismo lo hacés desde tu casa con DHL.
Estructuralmente · barato · trackeadoWhy Paraguayan customers use Selectido
Paraguay has the lowest IVA in MERCOSUR (10%), a guaraní (PYG ~7,200/USD) that's been relatively stable, and a long tradition of cross-border shopping in 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 release-day exclusives, Whole Foods 365 supplements, and brand-name baby formula like Similac and Enfamil still need a US shopper.
Selectido replaces both patterns at once: the Foz do Iguaçu shopping run and the "que el amigo de Miami me lo traiga" request. Live US shopper on video today, DHL from cart to your zona in Asunción or CDE in 5-8 days, with the structurally lower MERCOSUR IVA still working in your favor.
The "viaje a Foz" tax
Triple-border shopping was the move for decades — bus to Ciudad del Este, Friendship Bridge to Brazil, day of haggling, suitcase home. It still works, but it costs you a day and you can't see Sephora US exclusives in CDE. Selectido is the upgrade: a US shopper FaceTiming from Sephora Aventura or Apple Dadeland, DHL to your puerta, factura original para la DNA, y vos seguís tomando tu tereré. Iporã.
