Full Details

Posting a watch to Peru is permitted with no licensing requirement; the compliance risk is valuation. SUNAT — Customs Administration assesses charges on the declared value from the CN22/CN23 or courier entry: 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. High-value watches should travel by insured courier with formal customs entry — postal channels cap indemnity far below luxury-watch values, and undervaluation to dodge charges voids insurance and invites seizure.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Use an insured courier service with formal entry for anything valuable, declare the true price, and keep the invoice — undervaluing a shipped watch is the classic seizure-plus-penalty case.
