🇵🇪How to verify a supplier in Peru
To verify a supplier in Peru, look the company up in the official SUNAT Consulta RUC (tax register), with SUNARP holding the company registry entry for free and confirm it is registered and currently active. The registry returns SUNAT lets you search by RUC, by identity document or by name and business name, and returns the registered name, the taxpayer state and condition, the address and the registered activity.

- The search form asks for an on-page captcha, so it is a human check; checked live 2026-08-05 (200).
- State suppliers: the Registro Nacional de Proveedores at https://www.rnp.gob.pe/ (200) lists suppliers cleared to sell to the Peruvian state, which corroborates a trading history but says nothing about manufacturing.
- Peru is outside the EU, so VIES does not apply to a RUC.
Отраслевые экспортные лицензии
Being a registered, active company is not the same as being allowed to export a specific product. In Peru, some goods need their own export licence or certificate from a named body. Each entry says which goods it covers and when it applies; an entry marked “scope not checked” names the body, but we have not yet checked its product scope and conditions against the legal text, so confirm with that body whether it applies to your goods.

Before you sign: five asks no registry can answer
The register proves the company exists and who signs. It says nothing about whether the supplier survives a bad quarter, a fire or a key person leaving. Serious suppliers answer these five asks without friction; hesitation on any of them is information too.
- Business continuity: what happens to your order if their plant loses power, a strike hits or their systems go down? Ask for the plan, not a reassurance.
- Liability insurance: is product or professional liability insured, with which insurer and to what ceiling? A certificate of insurance is a one-page email for a real firm.
- Exit terms: how do you terminate if it goes wrong, what notice and fees apply, and how do you get your tooling, molds or data back?
- Support in numbers: ask for response and resolution times as figures, not adjectives. A supplier who commits to hours in writing has a support process; one who writes fast support does not.
- Named people: who exactly runs production and who owns your account? Continuity of a named team matters more than a polished sales deck, and employee-review sites often show whether that team stays.
General commercial hygiene, not legal advice.
