Peru
Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones (MTC)
MTC is Peru's wired and wireless communication certification system. Before any items can be sold, all communication devices imported into Peru must be approved by MTC. The Peruvian communication equipment approval authority is MTC, and since Peru doesn’t have its own test laboratory, a report from an accredited test laboratory issued according to international standards is required.
If a local Peruvian representative submits the FCC/IC certificate (certification number), user manual (written in Spanish), technical document and application to MTC, the certificate will be issued after reviewing the documents within 5 days.
In order to import products, the importer must apply for import custom clearance at the Peruvian customs office (VUCE, Ventanilla Única de Comercio Exterior), then Custom clearance is possible by submitting the certificate to VUCE; the certificate is issued by applying for a certification alongside paying a fee to MTC. There is no factory inspection.
