Latin AmericaChemical Supplier & Exporter to Peru
Peru's chemical demand is dominated by mining: copper, gold and zinc operations in the Andes rely on flotation reagents, assay laboratory chemicals and water-treatment products. Fishmeal plants along the coast, fast-growing agro-export farms in Ica and La Libertad, and alpaca and cotton textile mills add further requirements, while Lima hosts pharmaceutical formulators and hospital laboratories. Many acids and solvents are controlled inputs under SUNAT's IQBF regime. We ship from Gujarat and Mumbai to Callao and the new Chancay terminal, with documents for DIGEMID and SUNAT filings.

APIs and pharmaceutical products require DIGEMID sanitary registration or import authorisation, and a long list of chemicals classed as controlled inputs (IQBF) can only be imported by companies registered with SUNAT, with shipments reported to it. Clearance is handled by SUNAT customs through the VUCE single window. Dangerous goods need IMDG or IATA documentation.
