Buy Used & New Cars from China to Peru - Wholesale Exporter

Peru is the best-matched South American market for Chinese stock, because Peruvian law explicitly requires left-hand drive. That removes the single advantage Japanese domestic stock normally holds in South America, and Callao is the west-coast unloading port that also covers Bolivia and northern Chile.

The rules that decide the deal

Used vehicles are admissible within age and mileage limits — about five years in practice — and the vehicle must be left-hand drive as a matter of law. The customs value is checked against an official reference table, so a low declared invoice does not lower the assessment.

Callao carries the region’s main RoRo and container volume from Asia. Registration and the initial technical inspection are separate steps after clearance and should be budgeted alongside the duty.

  • Because Peru requires left-hand drive, this is one of the few South American markets where Chinese stock competes with Japanese stock on equal terms.
  • Registration and the initial technical inspection are separate costs after clearance.

Age limits, certification routes and duty lines are taken from published rules and reviewed by our team, but customs assesses each vehicle individually. Treat anything here as a planning input, not as an assessment.

Peru import questions

What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Peru?
Used vehicles are admissible with age and mileage limits — about 5 years in practice. Peruvian law requires left-hand drive (timón a la izquierda), which rules out Japanese domestic stock.
Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Peru?
Peru drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Used vehicles are admissible within age and mileage limits — about five years in practice — and the vehicle must be left-hand drive as a matter of law. The customs value is checked against an official reference table, so a low declared invoice does not lower the assessment.
Which port does a car from China clear at for Peru?
Callao. Callao carries the region’s main RoRo and container volume from Asia. Registration and the initial technical inspection are separate steps after clearance and should be budgeted alongside the duty.
How much does it cost to import a car from China to Peru?
Customs charges on CIF — the vehicle price plus freight and insurance — and never on the invoice alone. Base duty is 6% of CIF. 1 further lines stack on top: IGV (VAT). Run the numbers through the landed-cost calculator and treat the result as a planning figure: the final figure exists only once customs assesses the specific vehicle.
How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
Is it cheaper to ship one car or several to Peru?
RoRo is the simplest option for a single unit. A 40ft container normally carries two to four cars, so once you have enough volume to fill one, the cost per car drops noticeably — and the vehicles are not exposed on deck. Both are quoted on request for this lane.
