Peru represents a growing opportunity for Canadian exporters. Bilateral environmental and labour cooperation and modern trade frameworks make Peru an attractive partner. The Canada–Peru Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA) and CPTPP reduce or eliminate tariffs on many goods, helping Canadian shippers reach customers faster and more competitively.

For small personal parcels, Canada Post (surface) is usually the lowest-cost option.
Cost depends on chargeable weight (the greater of actual vs. volumetric) and service level. Use the calculator below for 5–30 kg estimates. Examples:
Tip: Before you ship, obtain the consignee’s tax ID: DNI (individual), RUC (company), or passport/foreign ID.
Enter dimensions and weight to estimate costs to Peru from Canada. Estimates in $CAD. Actual charges depend on carrier discounts, fuel surcharge, delivery address, shipment size and other factors.
Chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric. Volumetric (kg) = L × W × H (cm) ÷ 5000.
Best for individuals and small parcels. Services include Small Packet (≤2 kg), International Parcel (surface/air), and Priority Worldwide (via FedEx).
Reliable door-to-door courier services with priority and economy air. Ideal for commercial parcels and time-sensitive shipments.
Low-value threshold: About USD $200 (≈ CA$250) for tax/duty relief on certain shipments (rules vary; verify current limits).
Exports from Canada valued at CA$2,000+ (or otherwise controlled) typically require a CERS export declaration (formerly B13A).
Parcel shipments often use DDP/DDU-style options. With DDP, the shipper pays duty/taxes on behalf of the consignee; with DDU, the consignee pays on arrival. See: Incoterms explained.
Canada and Peru have both a bilateral FTA (CPFTA) and CPTPP. Where rules of origin are met, many goods qualify for preferential duty rates (often 0%). Proof of origin can appear on the commercial invoice (no prescribed format) provided all data elements are present:
Remember: Duty-free ≠ tax-free. VAT generally still applies in Peru. More: CPTPP benefits and certificate of origin basics.
Peru-origin goods may qualify for Canadian CPTPP preferences. Imports < CA$3,300 often do not require proof of origin at the time of import, but importers must maintain records (e.g., invoice, B3). See Canada import regulations and common fees.
