Stackry’s guide to the taxes, duties, and fees involved when shipping from the USA to
Peru
.
Shipments over $200 USD product value. Peru charges 18% import VAT and 4% simplified duty on packages valued between $200-$2,000 USD. Packages under $200 enter tax and duty-free. Taxes are calculated on the total value including shipping and insurance, plus any applicable duties. Your carrier will also charge handling fees for customs clearance.
Shipments valued under $200 USD enter Peru tax and duty-free. For your shipment over this threshold, expect 18% Import VAT (IGV) plus a 4% flat customs duty on courier shipments between $200-$2,000 USD. These charges are calculated on the CIF value (items plus shipping and insurance) plus the duty amount, and are collected by SUNAT when your package arrives.
Your shipment must declare the FOB value of your items, with import taxes and duties applying when the product value exceeds $200 USD. Certain items like electronics may require a Permiso de Internamiento from MTC.
No, shipments with a product value (FOB) under $200 USD enter Peru tax and duty-free. This threshold applies specifically to the item cost before shipping and insurance.
Taxes are calculated on the CIF value, which includes your product cost plus shipping and insurance. Even if your items are under $200, high shipping costs could technically push the taxable base higher if other rules apply.
SUNAT (Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administración Tributaria) is the authority that determines and collects these charges. Your carrier will usually collect these fees on behalf of SUNAT upon delivery.
You can estimate costs by adding 4% duty to your CIF value, then calculating 18% VAT on that new total. Remember to add a separate carrier handling fee of roughly $15–$30 USD to this sum.
