LIM customs advice 2014
Hi Peruvian forum followers
Can we have a round up of recent LIM customs experiences?
I'd like to go through with 1 laptop, 2 smartphones and 3 cameras.
Thanks in advance

- Do I currently need to declare excess gizmos?
- If I do need to declare, do I still need to pay duty?
- If I do need to pay duty can I still reclaim it on the way back out?
- If I can reclaim it on the way back out, how do I do this?
Thanks in advance

Not to worry, they have updated the rules a bit. No problem for laptop, no problem for 2 cells. The camera rules are to stop folks from bringing them in to sell, lots of people going to MP have lots of camera gear.

Same impression as others - I always bring both my peruvian and french cellphones when I go to Lima, and have on a few occasions brought more than one camera / laptop / hard drive, and never had any issue. I was asked several years ago about why I had two hard drives, but they were completely OK when I explained that they were personal.

There is no green/red light anymore, so all baggages go thru X Rays and only if they see something they ask you to open it. Lines are fast usually.
I think 2 liters of liquor is the limit, but last time they saw 3 wine bottles in my baggage and it was ok. I think they ask you to declare or pay just when it is something very expensive or far more over the limit.
