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

We prepare export documents from China.

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
