Full Details

Posting cosmetics to Peru in personal quantities is permitted — registration and notification regimes govern marketing cosmetics, not personal parcels. SUNAT — Customs Administration applies the ordinary parcel framework to an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration: import VAT/GST at 18% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Personal-import parcels under USD 200 duty-free; above attracts customs (10-30%) + 18% IGV. Aerosols and nail varnish are dangerous-goods limited quantities for air mail; bulk or repeated identical parcels are treated as unregistered commercial imports.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Keep parcels to personal quantities and declare contents specifically ('face cream', not 'gift'). Check carrier rules for aerosols and nail varnish — they are the commonly refused items in this class.
