Key Considerations for Shipping to Peru

• Regulatory Compliance:
  • Textiles must meet INDECOPI labeling standards; electronics require OFTEL certification.
  • Agricultural imports (e.g., fertilizers) need clearance from SENASA to prevent biosecurity risks.
• Port Efficiency:
  • Callao is Peru’s busiest port; plan buffer time (1–2 weeks) during peak seasons (Q4, pre-Christmas) to avoid delays.
• Security:
  • High-value cargo should use tamper-proof packaging and avoid night-time transport in rural areas; trusted carriers with GPS tracking are recommended.
• Currency & Payments:
  • Peruvian Sol (PEN) is standard, but USD is widely accepted; letters of credit (L/C) are ideal for large orders.
