Carlos Mendoza
Customs Procedures Specialist
Exporting classic vehicles or heavy machinery from Peru to destinations like Dubai or Saudi Arabia requires meticulous logistical planning and a deep understanding of customs procedures at the Port of Callao.
Key Point:
Incorrect documentation is the main cause of customs delays. Specialized container packaging is mandatory for this type of shipment.
Required Materials and Documentation
The process is structured into several critical phases, each with its own requirements:
Phase 1: Preparation
- Vehicle ownership certificate (original and legalized copy).
- Technical inspection and non-contamination certificate.
- International sales contract.
- Detailed photographs of the vehicle's condition.
Phase 2: Port Logistics
- Container space reservation (40' HC recommended).
- Professional packaging with anchors and moisture protection.
- Bill of Lading issued by the shipping line.
- International maritime transport insurance.
