The post office ask me to get the Ceritificate from Health Department in Bolivia. The office give me an agent tel# , who may help me to do the doc. However, the agent seem not really working my case, every time I call, he just keep telling me call me back, but he didn't, and i call again, he just keep saying call back tomorrow. I'm very frustrating of this issue. And i'm thinkng do on my own, but the post officer said, i need to use the agent to do that.

 no answer from them

Hi Pan, no I haven't received an answer from them either. Do you have any Spanish-speaking friends who could make a phone call for you to find out?

 customs agents in la paz bolivia
by: BoliviaBella

Hi Pan. That's really unfortunate. Since I am in Santa Cruz I think the best thing you can do is contact a customs dispatch agent (customs clearance agent) in La Paz.

There is a Chamber of Customs Agents in La Paz and here is the full list of their members.

I wrote to the chamber requesting they advise me if one of their member agents speaks English. Since tomorrow is a holiday it's unlikely anyone will answer until next week.

However in the mean time, you might want to just write to each of the emails on that list (in English) and see if any of them answer you (if they do, it's because they understood your English email) and forget about the useless agent who isn't doing his job.

Or you can email them this message in Spanish if you like (just copy and paste it and send it to each email on the list):

Estimados Señores, busco un despachante de aduana en La Paz que hable inglés. Si su empresa tiene algún funcionario que pueda ayudarme en inglés a liberar un paquete que actualmente está en aduanas de La Paz, favor de comunicarse con este email (insert your email address here).
