The Committee notes that, with regard to modern methods of cargo handling, and particularly to containers, the Government reports that the obligation to mark the weight before loading is governed by Appendix 4 of the Regulations on the Reception and Clearance of Vessels in the Ports of the Republic of Peru, adopted by Supreme Decree No. 013-2011-MTC, which is applied by the National Ports Authority and other authorities. Act No. 27943 on the National Ports System regulates activities and services in the terminals, infrastructure and installations located in ports, both public and private, and everything that constitutes and relates to the National Ports System. Sections 10 and 164 of the General Customs Act, approved by Legislative Decree No. 1053 of 2008, provide that the National Tax Administration Supervisory Authority (SUNAT) has responsibility, through the customs, for the control and inspection of goods, while section 4 of the Containers Regulations, approved by Supreme Decree No. 09 95 F of 1995, empowers the Customs Authorities to authorize the entry and exit of containers. The General Customs Act, approved by Legislative Decree No. 1053 of 2008, particularly sections 10, 164 and 98(i), and the General Customs Regulations, approved by Supreme Decree No. 121 96 EF, regulate the formalities for the entry and exist of containers.

The Committee requests the Government to continue providing all relevant information relating to the application of this Convention.
