Prohibited Items in your Airplane Baggage to Peru

When preparing for an exciting trip to Peru, it is important to be aware of the security regulations and baggage restrictions that apply to international flights. Peruvian authorities and airlines have strict rules about what is prohibited to bring on the plane, both in carry-on and checked baggage. We at ANDINO PERU TOURS present you a list of Prohibited items that you should not take with you on your trip to Peru.

Firearms and Ammunition

It is forbidden to carry firearms, ammunition and sharp or cutting objects in hand luggage or checked baggage. If you need to carry firearms for legal reasons, you must follow a special procedure and obtain permits before your flight.

Explosive or Flammable Items

Any explosive items, such as fireworks, and flammable items, such as fuels and aerosols, are strictly prohibited on the aircraft. This includes gasoline lighters and flammable liquids.

Hazardous Chemicals

Hazardous chemicals, such as toxic or corrosive chemicals, are not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage. This includes industrial cleaning products and radioactive materials.

Illegal Drugs and Substances

The carriage of illegal drugs or controlled substances is prohibited at all times. Peruvian authorities enforce strict laws regarding drug trafficking, so it is important to comply with local regulations.

Sharp or Pointed Objects

Any sharp or pointed objects, such as knives, large scissors, razors and similar tools, must be in checked baggage and not in carry-on baggage.

Blunt Sports Equipment

Items such as baseball bats, golf clubs and tennis rackets are considered blunt objects and generally must be in checked baggage.

Liquids in Large Containers

In accordance with aviation security regulations, liquids and gels in containers larger than 100 milliliters (3.4 ounces) are not allowed in carry-on baggage. They must be in small, clear containers and placed in a clear plastic zip-lock bag.

Perishable Foods

In general, perishable foods such as raw meats, fish or fresh dairy products should not be transported in carry-on baggage due to safety and hygiene concerns. It is better to buy fresh food once you arrive at your destination.

Bulky or Airline Prohibited Items

In addition to the general restrictions mentioned above, some airlines may have their own baggage policies and additional prohibitions on bulky or unusual items. Always check the specific regulations of the airline you will be traveling with.

Items Restricted by Customs and Immigration

It is important to remember that in addition to baggage restrictions, customs and immigration authorities in Peru have specific regulations on what you can bring into the country. Some items, such as agricultural products, are subject to inspection and may be subject to additional restrictions.

Before traveling to Peru, ANDINO PERU TOURS recommends that you consult both aviation security regulations and customs and immigration regulations to ensure that your luggage complies with all regulations.
