Overview
Peru is a steady left-hand-drive volume market in the Andes. Crucially, right-hand-drive conversions are banned, so China-origin LHD units are exactly what the market requires.
Why Chinese EVs for Peru
Low duty, no RHD complications and growing EV interest make Peru a straightforward destination for Chinese electric vehicles.
Import duty & taxes
Peru applies roughly 6% customs duty plus 18% IGV (VAT). There are no age limits on new vehicles.

- Battery / dangerous-goods documentation for the EV
EV incentives
EV-promotion measures are under development; low running costs already favour electric adoption.
Common pitfalls
Ensure units are left-hand drive (they are, from China) — RHD is prohibited. MTC homologation is the key step.
