Questions from Peru
Do you ship marble and granite to Peru?
Yes, with a photo of every slab before you buy. By sea to Callao, where most of the country's containers enter, or to Chancay.
How much is the tariff when importing marble into Peru?
For worked marble and granite the general tariff is 0%; you pay IGV and IPM. Your broker confirms the rate with your order's code.
Does the agreement with the European Union make Italian stone cheaper?
In Peru it makes no difference: the general tariff on worked marble and granite is already 0%, so the agreement with the European Union does not change the cost of entry. What you pay is IGV and IPM.
Why does almost everything arrive at Callao?
Because it receives about 80% of the country's containers and sits next to Lima. Chancay, opened in 2024, is growing fast, but it mainly receives cargo coming from Asia.
