The Manufacturing Industry in Bolivia

  • Manufacturing accounts for approximately 15% of Bolivia's gross domestic product.
  • Domestic industry supplies less than one-fourth of the processed food and manufactured goods consumed. Over one-half of manufacturing output is in nondurable consumer goods—food, beverages, tobacco, and coffee. Handicrafts and hydrocarbons account for much of the remainder.
  • Soybeans and its processed derivatives dominate food exports, reaching a large export market. Other notable manufacturing goods include cement, shoes, furniture, and a wide range of goods aimed at meeting domestic market needs. Most manufacturing industries are located in La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz.
  • Hence, Bolivia’s expanding manufacturing sector has increased demand for printing and industrial ink such as Videojet ink, Inkjet refills, and Hitachi parts.

What Regulations Are There on Importing Printers and Ink to Bolivia?

  • The Bolivian government generally does not apply specific restrictions, such as permits or import licenses, to trade in industrial and commercial goods.
  • Bolivian import charges include domestic taxes (most of which are creditable to the Bolivia Tax Authority) and private fees, making effective costs considerably higher than the stated tariffs.
  • Currently the import tariffs are 0 percent, 5 percent, 10 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent, 35 percent, and 40 percent (the 30, 35 and 40 rates are only for textiles as delineated in the Bolivian tariff schedule, called the NANDINA in Latin America).
  • Bolivian National Tax Service (Servicio de Impuestos Internos) fees: the value-added tax is 13.3 percent.  Added customs fees bring the effective rate to 14.94 percent, which is charged on an accumulated base.
  • Air cargo shipments require airway bills instead of bills of lading.  Exporters should follow IATA or ICAO rules governing labeling and packaging of dangerous and restricted goods and check with air carriers for further information and appropriate forms.
  • Because inks contain hazardous chemicals, it is important to follow Bolivia’s import regulations.

  2. High Product Cost - Given the domestic competition in Bolivia, printers and the continuous ink supply are more expensive to buy domestically than on the world market.
  3. Product Quality - While most international suppliers have a good brand reputation and quality, some smaller domestic manufacturers in Bolivia can have variant product quality.
