Can you bring alcohol to Peru?

• Alcohol

  allowed, within limits

  Travellers over 18 may bring up to 3 litres of liquor duty-free without declaring it.

  SUNAT lists 'Licor (3 litros)' among goods you need not declare, 'solo para mayores de 18 años'. Anything over that must be declared on the Declaración Jurada de Equipaje (red channel) and is taxed. Undeclared goods are seized; to recover them you pay the duties plus a fine of 50% of their customs value (SUNAT). Goods beyond the free list are taxed at a single 12% rate up to US$1,000 per trip (max US$3,000 per calendar year, per SUNAT's 'Ingresar equipaje al país' page); above that, normal import duties apply. Separately, foreign-made drinks labelled 'pisco' are prohibited (see pisco row).

  Also covers: alcohol, wine, beer, spirits, liquor, licor, whisky, vodka
