A bonded warehouse is a SUNAT-licensed facility where imported goods are stored under customs supervision without paying duties upfront. Interworld Freight operates a SUNAT-authorized Depósito Aduanero Autorizado in Peru for importers, freight forwarders and customs brokers handling international shipments, with significant financial and operational advantages and a facility that serves businesses of all sizes across multiple industries.
Goods stay up to 12 months with customs duties and Peru's 18% IGV suspended until you nationalize them, improving your cash flow significantly and giving you maximum flexibility to time market entry or manage seasonal demand. They can be re-exported without ever paying Peruvian duties or taxes, ideal for regional distribution through CAN and Pacific Alliance trade corridors. The location near the Port of Callao, Peru's principal port, cuts drayage costs, transit time and demurrage charges and accelerates the flow of goods into bonded storage.
