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.

Step-by-step import process

  1. Request a CIF quote to Callao.
  2. We prepare export documents from China.
  3. Units ship to Callao.
  4. Homologation with the MTC and customs clearance.
  5. Register and deliver.

Documents you will need

  • Commercial invoice and packing list
  • Bill of lading (RoRo or container)
  • Certificate of origin (China)
  • Vehicle conformity / type-approval certificate
  • 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.
