Can I bring into Peru a small self-protection taser type device?
- This commment is unpublished.@DC Hello DC,I tried to find any official answer to your question. Unfortunately in vain. While it is legal to carry a taser in Peru, it's still considered a weapon, which is a prohibited item. So, I assume (!) you can't bring your taser into Peru.As some airlines allow tasers in the checked luggage (without the battery) you could ask the airline flying you into Peru what they have to say about the topic.And just a side note: these small tasers surely aren't the right device to protect yourself from anything in Peru. To use them the attacker is already far too close to you. Even pepper spray would do a better job. And I highly recommend reading through our Safety, Security and Travel advice series.GreetingsEva

On all flights arriving at or leaving from Jorge Chavez International Airport tasers and even pepper spray are prohibited (see attached screenshot from the website of the airport).
