A clearer route between Europe and Mercosur
An overseas enquiry can open a door. Knowing how to respond takes a closer look at the market, the costs and the people involved. We help businesses assess their options and prepare a practical next step.

Start with the decision in front of you
Reach a new market.
Assess a buyer enquiry or a potential sales market. We help clarify customer requirements and compare the routes that matter for your business.
Find a workable business relationship.
Define what you need from a supplier, buyer or commercial collaborator. Establish the search criteria and the checks needed before making a commitment.
Build or produce in Paraguay.
Consider a local operation in the context of demand, operating requirements and the target market. Maquila is an important option to assess where the proposed activity may qualify.
We consider projects in both directions, including Mercosur businesses looking towards Europe. We confirm the countries and specialist questions we can cover before accepting an engagement.
Put the trade framework into business context
Assess the EU–Mercosur framework against your product, its origin, the destination and the timing of your project.
Where maquila may fit
Manufacturing, partial assembly or a service operation in Paraguay may be worth considering. Suitability depends on the activity, business model, target market and required approvals. AVC places the option within the commercial assessment and identifies the questions that need specialist review.
A focused assessment, a useful outcome
Illustrative scenario, not a client case: A European supplier of hotel furnishings receives an enquiry from Brazil. Should it deliver directly or work through a distributor? Partial production in Paraguay might initially be screened only to decide whether a deeper assessment is justified.
An initial engagement can examine one main route against a relevant alternative. The outcome may be a next step, a smaller test or a reasoned decision not to proceed. The scope follows the decision the business needs to make.
A practical perspective
Julio David Perez Cimas brings experience in international sales, customs operations and running a business in Paraguay. That background informs AVC’s approach: bring the relevant information together, define responsibilities and explain the options clearly.
Business plans and a personal move
A project in Paraguay may also involve moving there. Within the Atlas Vision family, Atlas Vision Residency focuses on residency, entry arrangements and the practical personal steps involved in settling in Paraguay. Atlas Vision Commerce handles business questions around markets, trade, business development and production.
Service scope, fees and engagements are agreed separately. An AVC engagement does not automatically include AVR services.
