Peru is one of South America's largest importers of heavy machinery, driven by its world-class mining industry, active construction sector, and significant agricultural operations. The country's copper, gold, and silver mining regions create constant demand for excavators, haul trucks, and heavy industrial equipment, much of which is purchased from US sellers.
Port of Callao
The Port of Callao, located adjacent to Lima on Peru's Pacific coast, is the country's largest and busiest commercial port. It handles the vast majority of Peru's heavy equipment and container imports and has the infrastructure to accommodate large machinery shipments.
For destinations in southern Peru, particularly the Arequipa, Puno, and southern mining regions, the Port of Ilo is an alternative that can reduce inland transport costs. We confirm the most efficient port routing based on your final destination in Peru.
Shipping Methods to Peru
Container Shipping with Dismantling (Primary Method)
Container shipping with machine dismantling is the standard approach for Peru. We pick up machinery from anywhere in the United States, dismantle it at our yards using our color-coded ribbon system, and ship via Pacific routing to Callao or Ilo. Multiple machines from different US sellers can be consolidated to reduce per-unit cost.
RoRo Shipping
RoRo service to Callao is available on select vessel schedules for operational machinery. Availability varies. We confirm vessel options when preparing your quote.
Flat-Rack Shipping
For oversized equipment that cannot be dismantled to container dimensions, flat-rack shipping is available to Peru's main ports.
