The Complexities of Importing into Bolivia

Bolivia is not a country well known for its IT sector, nor is it a particularly popular import destination. Their lack of power in global trade is clear when looking at the GDP which is one of the lowest in already poor Latin America. That being said, Bolivia has seen recent advancements in its IT sector which make it a destination not to be ignored.

As local businesses and governments continue to push the development of infrastructure and increase connectivity, we may see a surge in foreign investment in Bolivia. There are several compliance requirements that should be considered when shipping into Bolivia. One particular point one must remember is the restrictions on shipment value. Shipments into Bolivia which exceed $7000 will require further documentation and permissions.
