Selling bikes in Peru?
Hi moto travellers.
My girlfriend and I bought bikes in Chile and wanna travel thru Bolivia and Peru and then sell them within the next 2 month. Does anyone know if it is possible/ legal to sell them in Peru? If that is not possible the next question is: do we need our "papels al dia" to be able to return to Chile since they will expire in the meantime. Also if anyone is interested to buy a Suzuki DR200 and Honda NX 400 in either of these countries by the end of may please contact us. Thank you in advance and might see you at the HU meeting in Samaipata! Cheers Tom and Mitra |

Hi Tom,
If you are coming to Peru with a bike registered outside of Peru, it will be on a temporary road import. The bike will be given a maximum permission to remain in Peru of 90 days. Once that expires it can no longer be exported and would be seized by police or customs on any random stop. Unfortunately, its not permitted to sell the bike in Peru as it has come in on a temporary basis. To actually nationalise the bike a the boarder you would need to be a Peruvian citizen, pay taxes, and the bike would have to comply with import restrictions such as age etc. I have heard of some people selling the bike for parts on the black market, however, I wouldn't recommend it. Best option is to cross back to Chile and sell them there. On the second point there is no restriction on leaving Peru, or returning to Chile, as long as it is within the given time frame of your import permission. best of luck! |
Thanks for the info
