Doing a steel project in Peru

Peru is in South America. The capital is Lima. Local currency: Peruvian sol (PEN).

Vietnam and Peru are both parties to CPTPP, so steel structures made in Vietnam can qualify for preferential tariffs under the rules of origin.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Peru, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
