Importar Batería DJI desde China a Perú: Impuestos SUNAT y Requisitos para 2025

Quick Answer

• A DJI drone battery shipped from China to Peru will incur 18% IGV (Impuesto General a las Ventas) on the CIF value, even when ad valorem duty is 0% under the China‑Peru FTA for HS 8507.60. For a $159 battery, that’s around $29 in IGV plus about $35 in courier handling and DUA fees.
• Lithium batteries classified as UN3480 (Class 9 dangerous goods) must be declared with UN38.3 test documentation, packed to DG standards, and shipped via an IATA‑certified carrier. Informal imports are often rejected by SUNAT.
• Reboot Hub offers complete drones that include genuine OEM batteries, shipped DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) from Shenzhen/HK. The price you see at checkout already covers all SUNAT duties, IGV, and customs clearance—no extra payment on delivery.
• With DDP, a Pristine Pre‑Owned DJI Mini 3 Pro from Reboot Hub lands in Lima for $599 all‑in, compared to buying a new battery separately plus a drone that could reach $950 after taxes and fees.
• Reboot Hub’s 180‑day warranty covers the battery and the drone, so if a battery fault occurs, a replacement ships DDP again, absorbing any re‑import taxes.

What Are Peru’s Import Regulations for DJI Lithium Batteries in 2025?

Any DJI battery—whether an Intelligent Flight Battery for the Air 2S or the Mavic 3’s 5000 mAh pack—is classified under UN3480 lithium ion cells and equipment. To pass SUNAT’s Aduana digital risk engine in 2025, the shipment must include a UN38.3 test summary, a material safety data sheet (MSDS), and a dangerous goods declaration from the exporter. The battery must be packed in a rigid outer box with non‑conductive inner cushioning, and the carton must bear the Class 9 hazard label. Peru’s DGAC resolution No. 013‑2021‑MTC enforces IATA DGR 63rd edition requirements, so only carriers like DHL Express or FedEx that hold a dangerous goods operator certificate can legally transport standalone batteries. Shipments without the correct paperwork are stopped at Jorge Chávez Airport and can accumulate storage charges of $25 per day until the importer provides a formal DAM (Declaración Aduanera de Mercancías) through a licensed customs agent. For individuals, obtaining a DAM requires a RUC or a special importer registration with SUNAT, which often pushes costs beyond $200 just for brokerage. Because of this, many Peruvian drone pilots prefer to import an entire drone—where the battery is installed in the equipment under UN3481 (lithium batteries contained in equipment), enjoying a simplified clearance path.

How Much SUNAT Tax Will You Pay on a DJI Battery Import?

SUNAT’s tax calculation follows a straightforward formula: Base Imponible = CIF value + ad valorem duty (if any), then IGV = 18% of Base Imponible. DJI batteries fall under HS code 8507.60.00.00, which carries a 0% ad valorem rate thanks to the China‑Peru Free Trade Agreement. However, you still owe the IGV. For a DJI Mini 3 Pro battery with a CIF of $65, IGV amounts to $11.70. A Mavic 3 battery at CIF $209 triggers $37.62 in IGV. On top of that, express couriers charge a variable Disbursement Fee (typically 2% of the CIF or a $15 minimum) plus a DUA fee of $20–$35. So a single $65 battery realistically adds $48‑$55 in taxes and clearance costs, pushing the landed total to $113‑$120. A $209 battery can reach $265‑$282 landed. Buying multiple batteries doesn’t scale well either; SUNAT treats each shipment as a separate import, and couriers often flag shipments valued over $200 for formal clearance, adding a customs agent fee of $80‑$150. That’s why a drone order with a pre‑installed battery under DDP terms is far more predictable.

Why DDP Shipping from Reboot Hub Removes the Border Hassle?

When Reboot Hub sends a Pristine Pre‑Owned DJI drone to Perú, every unit travels Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). This means our logistics partner in Hong Kong pre‑pays the IGV, any applicable ad valorem duty, and the DUA processing fee before the package leaves Asia. SUNAT releases the shipment in Lima with zero cash‑on‑delivery request. The customer receives a door‑to‑door tracking number and a pre‑alert invoice that matches the declared value; no surprise storage fees at the airport, no need to hire a customs agent. For a typical DJI Mavic 3 Classic (Pristine Pre‑Owned, $1,299 on our site), the DDP clearance handles about $234 in IGV and $35 in DUA fees invisibly. The final price you see on reboot‑hub.com is exactly what you pay. Reboot Hub’s drones are sold as complete kits—drone, battery, charger, and accessories—so the battery qualifies as UN3481 (contained in equipment), further smoothing the import channel. This setup is backed by Reboot Hub’s 40‑point inspection in Shenzhen, where our MOHRSS Level 3 technicians verify the genuine OEM battery’s cell health, cycle count, and firmware lock before shipping.

Reboot Hub vs. Buying a New DJI Drone: Battery Included and Fully Inspected

When you order a new DJI drone from a non‑DDP seller, the battery alone triggers IGV and clearance costs; add the drone’s own duties and you can easily pay 30‑40% more than the sticker price. Reboot Hub’s pre‑owned grades offer a genuine battery already installed, after a 40‑point inspection that checks charge cycles, cell impedance, and physical condition—something no retail box does. The table below compares a typical new purchase with shipping to Lima against a Flawless (A+) or Pristine Pre‑Owned (A) drone from Reboot Hub, all with DDP.

All Reboot Hub drones carry our 180‑day warranty and use only genuine OEM parts, so the battery you get is identical to the one in a sealed retail box—just already proven to hold a full charge.

Why Buy from Reboot Hub?

Reboot Hub specializes in Pristine Pre‑owned drones, not generic refurbished units. Every drone passes a 40‑point inspection inside our Shenzhen chip‑level repair facility, where MOHRSS Level 3 technicians check structural integrity, flight logs, camera calibration, and battery cell balance. The facility can handle any lithium‑battery diagnostics at the component level, with a typical 3‑5 day turnaround for warranty issues. We offer a Hong Kong drop‑off point for Latin American customers who prefer regional logistics. Our DDP shipping from Shenzhen or Hong Kong ensures that when you see a price like $599 for a Mini 3 Pro on reboot‑hub.com, that’s the final landed cost in Miraflores, San Isidro, or anywhere in Perú—no SUNAT calculation, no DUA sticker shock. The 180‑day warranty is honoured globally: if the battery degrades below 80% capacity within that window, we send a replacement unit DDP, absorbing re‑import fees again. For Peruvian pilots frustrated by local markups and import paperwork, Reboot Hub delivers a fully documented, tax‑paid drone that is ready to fly within 7‑10 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: If I order a Reboot Hub drone to Lima, will SUNAT charge me additional import duties?

A: No. Reboot Hub ships DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) for all orders to Peru. The price you pay at checkout includes the drone, genuine OEM battery, 0% ad valorem duty under the China‑Peru FTA, and the 18% IGV. Our logistics partner pre‑pays all SUNAT fees and clears the package before delivery. You will not be asked to pay any extra cash on delivery or at a customs office. The declared value matches the invoice, so there is no risk of reassessment. This applies equally to shipments arriving at Jorge Chávez Airport or via maritime consolidation.

Q: Does Reboot Hub’s warranty cover the DJI battery?

A: Yes, the 180‑day warranty covers the entire drone, including the genuine OEM Intelligent Flight Battery. If the battery loses more than 20% capacity or encounters a cell failure within six months, we arrange a replacement from our Hong Kong hub. The replacement battery is shipped DDP, so you receive a fresh unit with no SUNAT fees. We require a brief video showing the battery error in the DJI Fly app; after verification, the new battery normally reaches Lima in 5‑7 business days.

Q: Can I buy just a DJI battery from Reboot Hub?

A: Currently, Reboot Hub offers complete drones rather than standalone batteries. However, every drone we sell includes a genuine OEM battery that has passed our 40‑point inspection. For a Mavic 3, the included battery is typically an A‑grade unit with fewer than 5 charge cycles, meaning you receive a nearly new battery without the headache of importing one separately. If you only need a spare battery, we recommend checking our drone kit listings, as the combined DDP value often matches what you’d pay for a standalone battery import after SUNAT fees.

Q: What’s the difference between Flawless (A+) and Pristine Pre‑Owned (A) for the battery?

A: Flawless (A+) drones are activation‑only units: the battery has never been through a discharge cycle and still shows 0 mAh wear in the DJI Flight Log. Pristine Pre‑Owned (A) drones show minimal use, typically 1‑5 charge cycles, with zero visible scratches on the battery housing. Both grades undergo a full capacity and internal resistance test in our Shenzhen lab. You can expect the A+ battery to deliver the same flight time as a factory fresh pack, while the A battery will still exceed 95% of original capacity.

Q: How long does DDP shipping to Peru take?

A: DDP shipments from Reboot Hub’s Hong Kong warehouse typically arrive in Lima within 7‑10 business days via air express. Once the package lands, SUNAT’s pre‑paid clearance adds only 24‑48 hours before the courier attempts delivery. You receive a tracking number as soon as the shipment departs. During peak seasons like Cyber Wow or Navidad, the timeline can extend to 12 business days, but the tax‑paid status never changes.

Q: What paperwork does Reboot Hub provide for Peruvian customs?

A: For every order, we attach a detailed commercial invoice showing the drone model, serial number, battery HS code (8507.60.00.00), country of origin, and the ex‑works value. Because we ship DDP, our broker also prepares the Declaración Aduanera de Mercancías (DAM) with the pre‑paid IGV and any duty liquidation. The battery’s UN38.3 test report and MSDS are included for dangerous goods screening. Customers receive a scanned copy of the DAM upon clearance, which can be used for warranty registration with SUNAT if needed.

Q: Are Reboot Hub batteries genuine OEM or third‑party?

A: All batteries inside Reboot Hub drones are genuine DJI OEM parts. We never install third‑party or rebuilt cells. Every battery is checked against DJI’s serial number database to confirm authenticity and to ensure it hasn’t been locked or stolen. Our Shenzhen repair centre has direct access to DJI’s battery firmware tools, so a battery that passes our 40‑point inspection will perform exactly like the one that shipped with a new drone, with accurate charge‑cycle logging and no “non‑DJI battery” warnings.
