Storage and Peru

CAUTION
If you are going home for a short period of time, don't bother suspending your TVIP. What is a long period of time? One day longer than has been granted when you received your TVIP or the new date if extended. What's the big deal? Some countries may charge you a per day fee for overstaying your TVIP. Peru will confiscate your bike if you are one day over the stated expiration. It happened to a friend. Bike gone. Bike not coming back. Trip over.

COMMERICAL SERVICES
There are at least two companies that either facilitate suspends a TVIP in Peru. Around the Block Motorcycle Adventures advertises suspending TVIP as one of their services. They are based in Huanaco, Peru, up in the Andes. Its a 90-minute flight to Lima or a 9-hour bus ride if you are on a budget. Check with them for prices. Per the previous post, Motos del Peru will get it done as well. They are based in Lima. Some highways in Lima are closed to motorcycle traffic, so keep that in mind.

DIY
The steps are involved if you are planning to do the paper chase yourself.

xfiltrate detailed the steps

Peru...

My passport entry stamps for Peru do not indicate that I entered by motorcycle.

Here is what I found on the internet: Overland Peru Travel - WikiOverland :

"Storing a vehicle and temporarily leaving the country[edit]

The temporary import permit can be "suspended" indefinitely while you leave the country. One person explains their experience as follows:
It's possible to store vehicles in Cusco at La Quinta Camping. The process is as follows, get to the Duana downtown (Cusco) apply for a suspension, the customs and/or Policia Nacional will come to the campground to make sure the vehicle is there. Milagros the manager of the campground will sign a paper that the vehicle will not get moved for the period of time you apply for the importacion temporal being suspended. That's it. You'll fly or bus from Cusco to Lima and off you go. As I understood from them the process took about 48 hours to be completed.
Storage at La Quinta is S/.12.00 PEN for 24 hours.
This is possible anywhere in Peru and works as follows:
1) You enter the country with your vehicle and get an importation permit of 90 days for it.
2) You go to the local "aduana" (SUNAT) and ask for the permission to leave the country without your vehicle. You will need to give them the address of the place where you leave it and probably a declaration of the owner of that place saying that the vehicle will not be (re-)moved (see above).
3) You can then leave the country without it, BUT you will still need to drive it out of Peru before the 90 days of temporary importation expire.
4) If you want to leave the country for a longer period (no limit in the peruvian law) you have to suspend your Temporary import:
find a save place
go to nearest police office
let the police make an official declaration "car will not move" signed by the owner of the save place
go to banco national and pay 7,9 sol
go to police to collect declaration
go to Sunat aduana let them send your application to borderpost where you entered the country (with a lot of copy's of all your paperwork)
leave the country and wait for email to confirm your suspension
on return go to Sunat with an application de levante de suspension and without your car
Sunat might control the car is still on the same place
Sunat gives a new entry form indicating the number of days that are left to leave the country
For the legal regulations see :: SUNAT :: as well as http://www.sunat.gob.pe/legislacion/...inta-pg.16.htm (in Spanish).
Also see How to suspend a vehicle permit in Lima, Peru for a first-hand write-up of how it's done from December 2013; and [url=http://nonurbia.com/project/suspending-the-car-permit-in-peru/]NONURBIA
