The National Commission of Telecommunications (CONATEL) of Paraguay has tightened requirements for importing smart phones and cell phones. Importers and local dealers of smart phones and cell phones must now have a radio type approval certificate and register the IMEIs through CONATEL to complete Paraguayan Dirección Nacional de Aduanas (DNA) requirements prior to importing to Paraguay. Mobile phones that do not have these certifications will not be able to pass customs in Paraguay.
