In 2017, Peru recorded a trade surplus for the second consecutive year, mostly due to a rise in shipments of minerals like copper, gold, zinc, lead, iron and silver. Peru’s main imports are: raw materials for industry, capital goods for industry and fuels. Main trading partners are: China (34 percent of total exports and 22 percent of total imports) and United States (11 percent of exports and 20 percent of imports). Others include: Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, South Korea and India.

Latest Updates

Peru’s trade surplus reached a new record of USD 4,233 million in October 2025, up significantly from USD 1,722 million in the same month last year, as exports have grown much faster than imports. Exports surged 46% year-on-year, reaching USD 9,517 million, fueled by impressive gains in both traditional products, which jumped 63.1%, and non-traditional products, which rose 10.7%. On the other hand, imports climbed 10.1% to USD 5,284 million, driven by higher spending on consumer goods (+10.8%), raw materials and intermediate goods (+7.2%), and capital goods (+14.1%). Considering the January–October period, Peru’s trade surplus expanded markedly to USD 26,150 million from USD 16,861 million a year earlier, as exports increased 20.6% to USD 74,149 million while imports rose 12.2% to USD 47,999 million.
