What is the term of temporary admission for vehicles with tourism purposes?
- The term is granted from ten (10) to ninety (90) calendar days (the latter being non-extendable). The term granted by the Customs authority shall be registered in the Temporary Internment Certificate

- Yes, you can request the extension from Customs, for this you must previously obtain the extension of the stay as a tourist from Migrations and then send it along with the Extension Request Form.
What happens if the term granted expires and I do not take my vehicle out of Peru?
- In such case you must pay a fine equivalent to 0.1 of a UIT (tax unit) for the first calendar day following the expiration date, plus 0.025 of a UIT for each additional calendar day until the day of payment of the fine. After paying, you have a 48 hours term to remove the vehicle from Peru or to enter it in a warehouse, if the vehicle is to be removed as cargo.
