How to Import Used Excavators to Peru

Importing used excavators to Peru

Callao is Peru's largest port, serving Lima and the whole country.

Inspect first

Cold-start video, hydraulic movement, undercarriage photos and nameplate. For remote used-equipment purchases, video is the baseline.

Ask for CIF Callao

Machine price and sea freight should be listed separately. Small and mid-size excavators ship by container or flat rack.

Customs and taxes

Confirm import duty, VAT (IGV 18%) and clearance documents.

Send the right inquiry

State model, tonnage, year and hours, destination port, and whether you need FOB or CIF.
