Paraguay customs begins satellite cargo monitoring tests

Five trucks carrying imported goods were successfully tracked by the Paraguayan National Customs Office (DNA) from the exit of the integrated control area of ​​the San Roque González bridge in Encarnación to its arrival in the Cidad del Este Free Zone.

This was how the “Vehicle Tracking System” was put into operation experimentally, which will allow Customs greater control over national transit operations which, due to their nature and/or value of goods, imply a greater risk.

“We are really facing a milestone. We have achieved something that has been pursued for years and is an important leap for the modernization of customs controls. The seal is a physical mechanism with sensors that, by means of claws or other fastening method, are temporarily installed to detect the opening of canvas-covered containers, vans or trucks, transmitting this information to the Vehicle Tracking System,” says the customs director, Julio Fernández.

The seal is reusable and transmits satellite signal that allows its geographical location to be tracked in real time. The new technology allows the DNA Monitoring Center to track cargo in real time and also inform in real time whether the transport vehicle deviates from the established route or is on its way before reaching its destination.
