U.S. companies often find it convenient to appoint a local representative to investigate market opportunities and establish sales networks. Retention of local legal counsel is often required to successfully navigate Peru’s business practices and bureaucracy. U.S. exporters, especially those targeting government agencies, are encouraged to contact their local U.S. Commercial Service (U.S. Department of Commerce) Export Assistance Center (EAC) prior to travel for a briefing on how the organization assists U.S. businesses. In turn, the EAC can put businesses in touch with the Commercial Service at the U.S. Embassy in Lima to obtain a market briefing, receive assistance in arranging appointments during a business trip to Peru, and to learn how the Advocacy Center can support their efforts competing in government tenders. For more information on these services, please refer to www.export.gov. The Foreign Agricultural Service, FAS, and the U.S. Department of State Economic Section (ECON) can also provide briefings on the economic, financial, and investment climate in Peru.
