Key Considerations for Shipping to Peru

• Regulatory Compliance:
  • Electronics must meet OFTEL certification; agricultural equipment requires SENASA biosecurity clearance.
  • Fishing gear imports must comply with IMARPE sustainability regulations to protect marine ecosystems.
• Weather Impact:
  • Coastal fog (garúa) in winter (June–September) may delay road transport; plan buffer time for outdoor deliveries.
• Security:
  • High-value cargo should avoid night-time transport in rural areas; use trusted carriers with GPS tracking and tamper-proof packaging.
• Currency & Payments:
  • Peruvian Sol (PEN) is standard, but USD is widely accepted; letters of credit (L/C) are recommended for large orders to mitigate currency fluctuations.
