Upon entering the country you must present to the Immigration officer the International Embarkation/Disembarkation Card (given to the traveler in the airplane or at the Immigration Stand of the arrival area you are coming through). Keep the card, since you will have to return it when you leave the country.

Customs officers will give you a form to declare any goods subject to customs duties you may be carrying with you. If none, specify that you have nothing to declare. The following are exempt from any duty: items and clothes for personal use, one portable computer and adventure tourism gear.

On the same form, you must declare whether you are introducing to the country any vegetable or animal species. If so, you will need to have a permit from the competent sanitary authorities from your country. If you do not have the necessary sanitation documents, Peruvian sanitation authorities may order to incinerate your vegetable species or to sacrifice your animal.

In case you are taking a flight you should take notice of the following hand luggage regulations:

a) All liquids must be carried in containers whose capacity can not exceed of 100 ml (or its equivalent in other volumetric units, such as liquid ounces for instance). No liquids will be allowed in containers of more capacity than the said 100 ml, even if the container is not completely full.

b) The containers must be placed in reclosable plastic bags with a maximum capacity of 1 liter. The containers must fit effortlessly in the transparent plastic bag, which must be perfectly sealed.

c) The plastic bag must be presented at the inspection post for its visual examination. Only one plastic bag per passenger can be allowed.

d) Exceptions must be made in case of medications, milk and baby food, as well as in case of passengers who require a special diet. There must be the appropriate means in place to verify the nature of these liquids.
