1. INTRODUCTION
Currently, Peru’s important macroeconomic stability and dynamic economie,
acknowledged worldwide, has fostered a marked dynamism in the gross domestic
product, in foreign investment and in exports.
The GDP growth process, which began in 2001, has been sustained to the point of
reaching a level of 9.88% during 2008. On the other hand, despite of the international
financial crisis, Peru during the 2009 registered GDP growth of 1.12%. Furthermore,
this has been one of the few countries in the world in achieving a positive economic
growth, foreseeing that in the following years levels of economic growth registered
before the crisis will be retaken and even surpassed.1
PERU’S EXPORTABLE GOODS

Total Peruvian exports have had a record growth: going from 7,000 million dollars in
2001 to 26, 624.6 million in 2009. This outcome is not only due to the high prices of
raw materials internationally but also to the significant diversification and quality of
non-traditional exports.2
Peru is a country rich in natural resources, with a geographic and climatic diversity
that allows for a wide range of products of excellent quality. The Pacific Ocean
supplies an abundance of fish and marine resources. The coast, with its numerous
fertile valleys, provides high quality cotton and agricultural products appreciated
worldwide and which are harvested during the opposite season to that of the northern
hemisphere. The Peruvian Andes is rich in mineral resources. Peru is the first world
silver producer and the first gold, zinc, tin, and lead producer in Latin America and
the second copper producer in the region. The biodiversity and forestry wealth that
exists in the Amazon rainforest are huge and have great quality. Peruvian textile
exports show great dynamism thanks to the high quality of its cotton, alpaca, and
vicuna Peruvian fibers, as well as to the high technology and design of the textile
industry.
The publication of the Peruvian Non-Traditional Exportable Goods with Potential in
the Swiss Market responds to an initiative of the Peruvian Embassy in Switzerland.
It became a reality thanks to the valuable support of the Swiss Import Promotion
Programme for Prioritized Developing Countries (SIPPO) and to the important work
carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Relations of Peru, PROMPERU, the National
Industry Association, ADEX, COMEXPERU and the Lima Chamber of Commerce. This
is an objective sample of the strong alliance being forged between the public and
private sectors in favor of Peruvian exports.
This publication, which is preceded by a marked and sudden increase in Peruvian
exports, has been prepared as a useful and practical consultation guide for the Swiss
importer, based on a careful identification of a selected group of non-traditional export

In Peru, a distinction between traditional and non-traditional goods is usually made which differs significantly from the categorisation known in Switzerland: fishing,
agricultural, mineral, petroleum, and derivates are seen as traditional sectors in Peru. This guide deals about the products from the Peruvian non-traditional sectors which
include: Agriculture and livestock, fishing, textile, timers and papers, and its manufactures, chemical, non-metallic minerals, basic metal industries and jewellery, fabricated
metal products and machinery and other products.
2
products with high capacity for gaining a share in the competitive Swiss market.
Five sectors were chosen for this edition with 31 products in different types of offers,
which imply other tariff items. These are set forth as a first proposal to be assessed
by Swiss importers. The sectors are: Agribusiness, Fish and Shellfish, Textile and
Garments, Wood and one which we have named “Others”, which includes products
such as caustic soda, jewelry-costume jewelry and software. It contains the most
important data and characteristics of each product and updated export statistics to
show its importance in the Peruvian foreign trade. Likewise, it shows the main uses
of the selected products, which stand out for their high quality and potential to meet
the needs of the demanding Swiss market.
We are sure that the dissemination of non-traditional exportable goods, with potential
in the Swiss market, will contribute to the development and improvement of trade
and bilateral economic relationships between both countries, in the context of the
free trade agreement between Peru and Switzerland as a member of the EFTA.

INTRODUCTION
Our special thanks to all the people and Peruvian institutions that have made possible
the preparation of this document, as well as to Mr. Markus Stern of SIPPO, and to Mr.
Hans_Peter Egler, Head of Trade Promotion of the Swiss State Secretarial of Economic
Affairs (SECO) whose support has been essential in making the project a reality.

For most of the exported products from Peru to Switzerland no custom taxes have to be paid (as a part of the Generalized System of Preferences, GSP). Nevertheless there are
some exceptions which are especially indicated in this guide by the information box “Tariff: GSP. The main source of information is the mentioned International Trade Map: Other
important sources are the Peruvian Custom Authorities. Further explanations to the HS Structure and GSP are given in part two of this publication “Swiss Market Information for
Peruvian Exporters”.

2.1. OVERVIEW
During the last five years, the Peruvian agro-industrial sector exports registered an
average annual growth of 24.38%, reaching a FOB value of US$ 1.917 million 2008
(5, 4% of the total exports). Such growth is explained by the increase of the number of
hectares for culture, the removal of sanitary barriers in markets like the United States
and China, the best quotations in the international markets, as well as by a greater
diversification and added value of exported products.

2.2. PISCO
PERU’S EXPORTABLE GOODS
14
Peruvian pisco is an alcoholic drink of the brandy family belonging to a variety of
grape firewater (“aguardiente”). It has been produced in Peru since the end of the
16th century. It is the typical spirit from Peru, distilled from grapes, whose value is
known beyond the country’s borders as is proven by the shipping registries from
the port of Pisco towards European and American countries such as England, Spain,
Portugal, Guatemala, Panama since the 17th century and to the United States of
America since the mid 19th century.
Origin of the Name
•In Pre-Colombian times, the large number of birds that inhabited the area of the
Pisco, Ica and Nazca valleys (known by these names for more than four centuries)
were called pisqu (pisku, phishgo, pichiu) in the Quechua language.
•More than two thousand years ago, a human group settled in the valley of Pisco.
They were famous for their pottery, and during the Inca Empire, these extraordinary
pottery makers were known as piskos.
•Since that time, one of the main pottery products were containers used to store all
types of beverages, including alcoholic drinks. These containers were also known
as piskos.
•Thus, the first grape brandy to be produced in Peru was stored in piskos and
as time went by, the alcoholic drink came to be known by the name given to its
container.
Offer and Tariff Item
•Pisco in bottles and boxes of different sizes (P.A. 2208202100)
•Bottle sizes: 0.750 ML, 500 ML; 750ML; 1L

Final Comments
Currently, coffee constitutes as one of the main replacement products for the execution of the national initiative “Alternative Development” within the actions carried out
by Peru in its strategy to fight drug trafficking and production. The coffee cultivation
areas are situated along the upper Jungle and tropical Andes, considered as one of
the most important critical rural areas within Peru, as it comprises the largest number
of ecosystems in the world threatened by human activities. The special microclimate
conditions of these areas favor the production of high quality coffee.
There are many developments programs operated by national and international
NGO´s, mostly in tropical Andes.

Peru produces the aromatic cacao type characterized by its high fat content that can
reach levels of 57%, which gives it a high commercial value and great potential for
the production of organic cacao as a crop in agro-forestry systems.
As the same way of Coffee, Cacao is one of the main replacement products used in

Due to the favorable climate in Peru, asparagus are growed during the whole year.
The main harvest is on October to January, and Abril to August, placing them opposite
to the principal harvest seasons in others producers countries.

Due to the favorable climate in Peru, artichokes are produced during the whole
year. The largest harvest volumes in Peru are in August and December, placing
them opposite to the principal harvest seasons of the main northern hemisphere
producers.
In the last few years, Peru has placed its leadership in the US market displacing
regular suppliers such as Spain, due to the high quality of its product, experience and
to the technological level achieved by the companies.

Final Comments
Avocado has been the product with the biggest growth in 2008 (55.7%), not only as
a consequence of the extension of the crop areas and the high productivity of fields,
but also due to the placement in the European market where in this season are a few
competitors being the main ones: Chile, Spain and South Africa.
With the opening of the American market, we hope to continue growing our exports in
order to compete in this market with Chile and Mexico.
One of the strengths of this product is the organization of its producer companies; they
are grouped in the “Palta Hass Producers Association” (Pro Hass) that watch over the
interests of the exporters through marketing, purchasing of raw materials, technical
assistance, etc.

Final Comments
Peru has found an interesting niche in the organic market and has become one of
the main exporters. Due to microclimates in the northern coast, we almost have no
plagues and illnesses which allow the production without agrochemicals. Also, these
climate conditions allow the production and harvest all year long which let us export
in the European winter.

Shrimp in international trade is shipped frozen after having undergone the primary
processing stages such as washing, sorting, grading, freezing and packing and, to
achieve added value, additional stages such as cutting, cooking, grinding, freezing
(Block or IQF), assorting and specialized packing (Modified Atmosphere Packing
(MAP), skin packing, skewers), etc. The local market, however, is also supplied with
fresh chilled shrimps. In the following forms, shrimps are usually produced and
traded in the market either cooked or uncooked:
• Head-On: Head, shell and tailfins on
• Headless/Shell-On: Only the head has been removed and the shell and tailfins are
still on
• Tail On: Headless, peeled & deveined shrimp in which the tail has not been
removed
• Tail Off: Headless, peeled & deveined shrimp in which the tail has been removed
• P&D: Peeled & deveined, round, tail off. All shell and tailfins have been removed,
with segments shallowly slit to the last segment
• P&D/Butterfly: Peeled & deveined, fantail or butterfly, tail on. All shell has been
removed except last shell segment and tail fins with segments deeply slit to last
segment
• PUD: Peeled and undeveined. All shell and tailfins have been removed with the
segments unslit
• Butterflied: The shell and digestive track have been removed and a deep cut has
been made that “butterflies” the shrimp without splitting it into two pieces.
• Shrimp paste, can be on sticks or in Kebab form
• Shrimp on skewers / shrimps packed in rings with sauces ready-to-eat

Final Comments
The deckings market had a boost between 2003 and 2008 (see Graph 6). However, the
exported amounts are still in the range of one million US$ a year, with the participation
of some 25 companies during the last five years. An important demand is foreseen
for the deckings market and at present, the problem seems to be related more to the
supply than to the demand. What the market is looking for regarding this product are
hardwoods, AD and KD, in consistent dark red colors, highly resistant to the attack of
destructive biological agents such as fungi and insects, preferably knot-free, that do
not require preserving chemical treatment and with good dimensional stability.

Textile and Apparel Industry
The textile industry in Peru has its legacy in ancient pre-Columbian cultures. This
tradition is based on the work of luxury fibers as Pima and Tanguis cotton, vicuña
and alpaca that together with a state-of-the-art integrated industry renowned by its
product quality, design, short delivery lead times, competitive prices among other
advantages, has allowed Peru to have a unique offer.
Peruvian Cotton
For over 4,500 years, cotton was the Inca’s main material, naturally dyed with insects
and plants, and then skillfully knit using techniques that were way ahead of their time.
The Spanish, amazed by the methods used to cultivate cotton, the variety of its natural
shades, the skill applied in its processing, and the delicacy of the resulting products,
introduced new customs and techniques from the European world, enriching the long
Inca’s tradition.
Among the four grown species of cotton (its scientific name is “Gossypium”): G.
Barbadense, G. Hirsutum, G. Arboreum, and G. Herbaceum, the Gossypium Barbadense
corresponds to South America and the Hirsutum was developed in Central America.
The distribution of these species agreed with the zones where the old Inca and Maya
civilizations were developed.
The varieties Pima and Tanguis came from the species Gossypium Barbadense,
whose genetic origin occurred in Peru and have allowed the development of other
prestigious varieties of cotton in the world. Peruvian Pima cotton has an extra long
staple which is the result of the climate and fertile soil of the northern coast of Peru.
Tanguis cotton, named for the Peruvian farmer who developed it over a hundred years
ago, is grown in the central and along the southern coast of Peru. Its uniform length
produces a yarn of great regularity, regarded for its carding and combing qualities,
as well as its light weight.
Both varieties are easy to blend with other fibers -either natural or syntheticincluding alpaca, silk, angora, Tencel and Modal, as well as they are easy to dye,
unlike other cotton species that needs additional processes to remove the impurities
and irregularities.
At the moment, thanks to the efforts led by the Peruvian Institute of Cotton (IPA),
with the support of INIEA, INCAGRO, CIRAD of France and the University of Arizona
(USA), new varieties of cotton are being developed and adapted to be bred in Peru,
like the American Pima. The Peruvian variety Tanguis has also been improved and so
obtained the “Improved Tanguis” cotton. This new variety will increase its refinement
and resistance, so the spinning potential of the fiber will improve too.
The Peruvian textile and apparel companies are recognized by the quality of their
products, with spinning titles up to 120 with Pima variety. These very fine titles are
obtained from the long and extra long staples.

Alpaca and Other Fine Animal Hair
The alpaca and vicuña are camelids which have a North American origin. After they
had migrated to Asia and Africa they arrived at the South American continent two
million years ago in the species alpaca, vicuña, guanaco and llama. The alpacas were
domesticated six thousand years ago, and was the Inca Civilization who developed a
superior fiber production.
From those years to now, the alpaca industry has been evolving. Fifty years ago, Peru
only exported fiber, twenty years later Peru exported semi processed fiber and yarns.
Nowadays, Peru supplies apparel, weaves, yarns and selected fiber to the world.
These animals live in a zone called Puna, over 4,500 meters above sea level,
supporting extreme climate fluctuations (-20ºC / - 4ºF during the night, and 18ºC /
64º F by the day), the intense solar radiations and the frozen winds. With the course
of the time the skin of the alpaca has developed a fine and thin hair which is water

Benefits of Peruvian cotton:
•It resists the weather changes.
•The varieties Peruvian Pima and Tanguis are less affected by changes of light.
•The cotton is carefully hand picked, to separate out only the best fibers without
doing damage to them.
•Tanguis and Peruvian Pima cotton are white and shiny, and the resulting yarn is
very bright, soft, and extraordinarily strong.
•In Peru, the ginning process is mechanical, protecting the length and quality of the
fiber.
•Tanguis and Peruvian Pima cotton have high degree of dye absorption.
•In Peru the titles of extra long cotton fibers are developed from 80:1 up to 120:1.
TEXTILE AND GARMENTS
The Peruvian textiles and apparel of cotton are more and more being appreciated in
the world, for that reason companies like Lacoste, Armani, Liz Claiborne, Nautica, Ike
Behar, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger among others develop their production in
Peru.
resistant and also resists the solar radiation. The alpaca fiber is tubular, which gives
an advantage to the production of warmer and lighter garments.
PERU’S EXPORTABLE GOODS

More than 80% of alpaca fiber production is concentrated in Peru with two varieties,
Suri and Huacaya. Suri is almost exclusive of Peru; its fiber is long, shiny, smooth,
silky and resistant. However, Huacaya represents 90% of the population of alpacas in
Peru. The alpaca is the only animal that offers a great variety of natural colors, thus
attractive and elegant garments can be developed. It also has an excellent affinity to
the dyeing, increasing the variety of available tones.
The vicuña is a wild animal that produces between 200 and 250 grams of fiber per
year. In addition, they can only have one off-spring per year, placing this animal as
a world wide treasure. In 1963, Peru had five thousand animals; in 2004 more than
120 thousands exist, living in natural reserves. The amount of vicuñas has recovered
thanks to the efforts of the local communities, private companies, and the support
of the government and the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). Some traditional factors have also supported the
conservation of the species. The Chaco is a ceremony from the Inca’s era that consists
in gathering the animals in the wild to verify their health state and then shear them.
Since the beginning of this new century, the alpaca and vicuña apparel have
accentuated their position in an important niche of market, which is in constant
growth. This happened because the consumers appreciate a comfortable garment,
made of natural fibers with smooth luster.
The Peruvian exporting companies are in the capacity to interpret and to adapt the
different customer’s needs. Peruvian garments of fine animal hairs are commercialized
in the United States, England, Japan, France, among other countries, distributed by
prestigious worldwide brands.
The interest in the alpaca apparel and textiles has grown in the last years, because
its fiber has the following attributes:
•Its thermal properties. Alpaca is more than five times warmer than the sheep
wool.
•Its fiber is three or four times longer and is more resistant than wool.
•It has a great resistance to flammability.
•The fiber returns to its original position after an alteration in the direction of the
hair.
•It comes 17 natural colors.
•Little tendency to wrinkle or folding marks
•Elevated brightness, thanks to its natural luster.
•It allows developing comfortable apparel with a sensation of smoothness.

Chemical Composition and Properties
Liquid caustic soda is a tacky colorless and highly hygroscopic solution that rapidly
absorbs moisture from the air. It is a strong base used as a chemical agent that
violently attacks metals such as zinc, aluminum, copper and lead, and alloys such
as bronze and brass. It reacts violently with acids and with certain compounds such
as acrylonitrile, acrolein and maleic anhydride. It reacts with chloroethylene to form
explosive compounds such as dichloroacetylene. The melting point is at 328° C (533°
F) and the boiling point at1390° C (2444° F). It is a highly hygroscopic and very
deliquescent product, which quickly absorbs carbon dioxide and water from the air.
Packaging Characteristics
Caustic soda is available commercially in various solid forms (rectangular sheets,
ground and/or granulated and in flakes) and in liquid form (water solutions).
