They propose to exempt goods imported for personal use from paying tariffs

the congresswoman Adriana Tudelafrom the Avanza País bench, presented a bill to exempt from the payment of tariffs goods and articles for personal use or consumption and gifts that, due to their quantity, nature or variety, are presumed not intended for trade. Likewise, it exempts articles and instruments intended to foster and promote culture and investment in culture within our national territory from tariffs.

Bill No. 3951, in its article 3, states that tariffs are exempted —and do not require the presentation of the Baggage Affidavit or any other formality not expressly regulated in a norm with the force of law— the goods and following items: goods for personal use or consumption and gifts, technological items intended for the recording of audiovisual works in national territory and acoustic and electric musical instruments to be used in non-sports public events in national territory.

It is specified that these goods would not be subject to limits of quantity or joint value. In addition, cash or financial instruments are not considered, as long as they exceed US$10,000.

“In accordance with the fundamental right to property, there is no further justification for tying the entry of goods and items for personal use or consumption and gifts to the payment of international trade control rates. However, access to personal property is currently conditioned to certain arbitrary amounts, raised in an infralegal norm,” is stated in the document.

The complementary provisions detail that this measure would only be valid for three years. The Ministry of Economy and Finance is in charge of coordinating with the National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat) and adapting Supreme Decree No. 182-2013-EF within a period of no more than 120 calendar days from the date of its publication. of the rule.

The initiative was presented to Congress on Monday, January 9, and must go through the evaluation of the corresponding commissions before its debate and vote.
