Peru clears plant products through SENASA at Callao and food and supplement ingredients through DIGESA, with the VUCE single window and SUNAT customs. Importers in Lima, Arequipa, Trujillo and Cusco work with Kohenoor International because:
Peru’s natural-products market is deeply rooted: pharmacy chains such as Inkafarma and Mifarma, tiendas naturistas and the herbal stalls of every mercado sell fenogreco seed and powder for lactation, appetite and glycaemic support, and DIGESA-registered supplement makers use it in capsules. Importer-distributors in Lima buy container lots and pack under their own brands for the retail and pharmacy channels.
Spice demand has grown with the global success of Peruvian cuisine and its Chifa, Nikkei and Arab-Peruvian influences: packers supply curry and specialty blends to Plaza Vea, Tottus, Wong and Metro and to Lima’s restaurant sector. Peru’s dairy, poultry and Paso horse sectors use fenugreek as a feed palatant. Supply is almost entirely Indian via transhipment; Peruvian importers who want direct container pricing and complete SENASA/DIGESA documentation are qualifying Pakistan as a second origin.
