Peru imported US$4.96 billion of goods in February 2026 (CIF), the first full month in CargoFax's Peru series, which begins on 19 January 2026. January is partial, so February has no month-on-month comparison; this report describes levels and composition instead.
China was the largest origin at US$1.61 billion, 32.4% of the total, about twice the United States at US$802 million (16.2%). Brazil (US$305 million) and Argentina (US$274 million) followed.
Mineral fuels (HS 27) were the largest chapter at US$761 million, 15.3% of the value. Refined fuels (HS 2710) alone reached US$478 million and crude petroleum (HS 2709) US$241 million. Machinery and computers (HS 84) added US$701 million and vehicles (HS 87) US$514 million, with passenger cars (HS 8703) at US$195 million and trucks and pickups (HS 8704) at US$154 million. Phones and network equipment (HS 8517) came to US$204 million.
Sea freight carried 84.0% of the value and air 11.8%. Callao's seaport handled 69.0%, and the single busiest route ran from Shanghai to Callao, with US$336 million. The data lists 12,893 importers.
What the data shows: February sets the first full-month baseline for Peru: a market led by fuels, machinery and vehicles, with China as the main supplier. Trends will only become visible as more months arrive.

Methodology
Peru customs (SUNAT) import declarations. Import values are declared CIF values in US dollars. Categories follow the Harmonized System. Records are customs line items; importers are distinct importers with a record in the month. The latest month may be revised as late records arrive. No year-over-year comparison: CargoFax Peru data in this series starts in January 2026. No previous-month comparison: January 2026 is not used as a comparison base. The period table leaves out a comparison that reaches before January 2026, when the series starts, or that includes a month not used as a base. Year to date is compared with the same months a year earlier. Records are SUNAT import declarations, one record per declaration series. Values are CIF in US dollars (FOB plus freight and insurance). CargoFax records for Peru start on 19 January 2026, so these reports compare months within 2026. Each record names the Peruvian importer with its RUC tax ID. Carriers are identified only for air cargo (IATA airline codes); shipping-company codes have no public name table. Customs office 370 is the port of Chancay. This report covers Peru imports.
