If you buy in the United States and want to receive in Peru, you have two main paths: courier or freight. Choosing well can save you time and money.
Courier: for small, fast shipments
- Ideal for small or light packages.
- Faster delivery, door to door.
- The cost per kilo is usually higher, but for small quantities it is simpler.
Air freight: for medium orders with urgency
- Makes sense when volume grows but you need to receive soon.
- Charged by weight or volume, whichever is greater.
Sea freight: for large volume
- The cheapest option per kilo when there is a lot of volume.
- Takes longer than air, so plan ahead.
How to decide
- Weight and size of your shipment.
- Urgency: do you need it now or can you wait?
- Product value: it may generate import taxes in Peru.
- Type of product: some have restrictions.
Don’t forget taxes
On arrival in Peru, the shipment may pay duties and taxes depending on its value and type. Always ask for the total cost before buying.
