Temporary Entry
Last published date:

Some goods can be brought into Peru and kept in a bonded warehouse without paying import duties for up to twelve months.  During that period, the importer can pay the duties on the goods held in the warehouse and clear customs or re-export the goods.  Importers can do this for the entire shipment or break it down according to their needs.  The list with the 23 types of goods, Annex 1 (PDF) to Ministerial Resolution 287-98-EF/10 and modifications, is available at SUNAT.  Other documentation requirements are the same as those listed above. 

Peru is set to implement the ATA Carnet System starting April 30, 2024, joining Chile and Mexico as the third country in Latin America to embrace this facilitation for the temporary admission of goods. The government will recognize ATA Carnet for professional equipment and items intended for display or use at exhibitions, fairs, and similar events. Further details on Peru’s commitments to the ATA Carnet system, as well as any updates or related publications, can be found on the USCIB website, with the specific commitment outlined at https://uscib.org/peru/.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
