FAQ´s

A public bonded warehouse (Deposito Aduanero Publico) in Peru is a SUNAT-licensed facility that provides bonded storage services to multiple importers within a shared facility. Imported goods can be stored without payment of customs duties or IGV for up to 12 months, and the warehouse operator manages all regulatory compliance. Unlike private bonded facilities dedicated to a single company, public warehouses are open to all importers on a flexible, usage-based pricing model.

 Your imported goods arrive at the Port of Callao or Jorge Chavez airport and are transported under customs transit to our public bonded warehouse. Upon arrival, goods are admitted into bonded status with full SUNAT documentation, and our Korber Warehouse Edge WMS tracks your inventory with client-segregated visibility. You can withdraw goods partially or fully, paying duties and IGV only on nationalized portions. Goods can also be re-exported duty-free. 

 Under Peru's customs regulations, goods can remain in a bonded warehouse for up to 12 months from the date of admission. Before this period expires, goods must be nationalized (with duty and IGV payment), re-exported, or transferred to another customs regime. Interworld Freight monitors aging through our WMS and notifies you well in advance of any approaching deadlines. 

 Public bonded warehouses offer duty and IGV deferral with flexible volumes near major ports like Callao, while CETICOS zones in Tacna, Ilo, Matarani, and Paita provide broader tax benefits (including ISC exemption) and manufacturing permissions. Public bonded storage is more accessible for most importers due to its Lima-area location and no minimum requirements, while CETICOS zones are best for operations that can benefit from their specific geographic locations and expanded fiscal advantages. 

 Yes. Interworld Freight's in-house customs brokerage team manages all SUNAT documentation for public bonded warehouse operations. This includes customs transit declarations, bonded admission entries, partial withdrawal processing, nationalization paperwork, re-export documentation, and compliance reporting. You receive complete bonded logistics management without needing to engage a separate customs broker. 

Yes. We handle documentation, coordination with brokers, and compliance oversight.
