OCEAN SHIPMENTS
IMPORT SHIPMENTS TO PERU
Bill of Lading
• MB/L for FCL/LCL and Consolidated cargo has to be Consigned to:
International Freight Logistics S.A.C.
Av Faucett / Tomas Valle CAC Of. 403, Callao, Perú
Direct Tel: (51-1) 706-2828 Fax: (51-1) 706-2829
Attention: Ms. Grace Vega | gvega@ifssac.com
• Original MBL should be sent by Courier prior to vessel arrival. If the MBL is EXPRESS
RELEASE we have to pay US$ 80.00 to the Carrier for the issuing of it. In this case, confirm
with the Shipping Line to send the instructions in time to their agent in PERU.
• MBL and Hbl for FCL/FCL must always show full general description of goods and quantity of
bundles.
• HB/L must always show freight as per agreement. If any additional charges, these must be billed
directly to consignee and the respective invoice can be sent to us.
• CO LOADERS: In the case you send cargo through Co loaders, it is NOT necessary to send
the original MBL + HBL. You can send the instruction to issue EXPRESS RELEASE of this MBL
to the co loader. Shipping documents must be sent by email in advance few days after
departure.
Customs Regulation
• According to Peruvian Customs, any amendment in weight, packages, and good descriptions
after vessel arrival, will automatically be fine and have surcharges. When there is discrepancy
of description the penalty is approximately US$800.00 plus paperwork US$ 80.00 per B/L. Delay
due to this problem will increase the local handling charges. Therefore, PLEASE advise shippers
that the information they render you is very precise so to avoid customs penalties and additional
local cost.
PRE - ALERT Electronic Manifest to Customs must be processed 72 hours prior to vessel
arrival. Shipment Documents (MBL, HBL and Debit/Credit note) are required to be submitted
by email (gvega@ifssac.com and usersimpo@ifssac.com) as soon as cargo departs from
origin or all corresponding documents must be sent 7 days before vessel arrival to Peruvian
ports.
For shipments with short transit time (i.e.: South American ports), documents must be sent 2
days before vessel arrival to Peruvian Ports.
If Electronic Manifest is not processed according to deadline, the fine could be US$ 1,600.00,
plus paperwork US$ 80.00. Any Customs fine will be charged to the “Origin Agent” if information
is sent with delay, incorrectly or to wrong party.
ALL DAT/DAP/DDP Quotations from IFS Group are ALWAYS subject to acceptance and
Confirmation. Quotations that are accepted have to be confirmed and shipments should NEVER
be shipped to Peru unless it is authorized by the person who quoted particular request. It is very
important to get Peruvian Customs authorization moving cargo to Peru and to verify that importer
has proper import licenses. If cargo is shipped, it can create very long delay and high storage
cost.
