Applicable conditions
SENACSA’s entry page cites MERCOSUR 20/2024. The official registry still shows Paraguay as not incorporated and no entry-into-force record. The resolution states sixty-day CVI, current rabies from ninety days, primary/expired-booster wait of twenty-one days before shipment, parasite treatment within fifteen days before CVI and examination within ten days before CVI. Confirm the applicable Paraguayan model and timing with SENACSA; these intervals are not added to the definitive checklist.
