+1 (818) 600-0008FCL and LCL ocean freight from Callao, Chancay and Paita, plus air cargo from Lima.
Customs cleared, picked up at LA and Long Beach, and delivered to your door anywhere in the U.S.
Peru shipped $10.7 billion in goods to the U.S. in 2025, up 14 percent, and the growth is agricultural: Peru became the world's largest exporter of blueberries and fresh grapes, with avocados, asparagus and mangoes behind them, alongside pima cotton apparel and knitwear from Lima's textile industry. Most of it enters duty-free under the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement, in force since 2009. Callao outside Lima is the main gateway, the new deep-water port at Chancay is adding direct-call capacity just up the coast, and Paita in the north ships the mango and banana harvests.
AEEM Shipping manages the full move: FCL bookings and LCL consolidations out of Callao, Chancay and Paita, air cargo from Lima, customs clearance handled by licensed customs brokers while your freight is on the water, and same-day drayage at every San Pedro Bay terminal on arrival. One point of contact from Peruvian origin to U.S. door, tracked in real time with 24/7 dispatch.
Origin port to final door, managed by one team.

Peruvian freight follows the harvest. Blueberries run heaviest from August through November, grapes from November through February, avocados through the spring and summer, and each window fills reefers northbound on direct Pacific services that reach San Pedro Bay in roughly 11 to 15 days, transit short enough that shelf life survives the ocean. Around the produce moves the dry trade: pima cotton knits and apparel for West Coast brands, and specialty foods from quinoa to cacao riding the same FDA rails as the fruit.
Cold chain and calendar discipline run this lane. Reefer space out of Callao tightens in every harvest peak, so bookings lock early, FDA-registered facilities and prior notice file before arrival, and the TPA's duty-free entry rides on a complete origin file per shipment. Chancay's new deep-water berths are still building out their service map, so we book the port that has the right sailing rather than the newest pier. Entries clear through licensed customs brokers while the freight is on the water, and cold chain drayage moves produce the day the vessel lands, with appointments set off the ETA.

Straight answers on freight from Columbia to the U.S.
Direct Pacific services from Callao reach LA and Long Beach in roughly 11 to 15 days port to port, with no Panama Canal transit. Chancay and Paita run similar schedules depending on service. Add time for customs clearance and drayage to final delivery.
Most qualifying Peruvian-origin goods enter duty-free under the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement, in force since 2009, provided the origin documentation is complete and the goods meet the agreement's rules of origin. We review eligibility before your cargo ships, with entries handled by licensed customs brokers.
Rates move with container size, season, fuel surcharges, and equipment, and reefer space prices up during each harvest peak. Send us the origin, cargo, and volume and we return a real all-in quote covering ocean freight, destination charges, and delivery.
If your cargo fills most of a 20-foot container, FCL is usually faster and cheaper per unit. Smaller volumes move LCL through consolidation at Callao, which typically adds one to two weeks over FCL because of consolidation at origin and deconsolidation on arrival.
Yes. Blueberries, grapes, avocados and other produce require an FDA-registered facility and a prior notice filing before arrival, and perishables ride reefers with unbroken cold chain from loading to delivery. We lock reefer space ahead of each harvest window and run cold chain drayage on arrival, with entries handled by licensed customs brokers.
Our own drayage network picks up at every San Pedro Bay terminal, with pre-pull and overweight capability, then delivers to your door or transloads in the Inland Empire.
