What is a Guia de Remision?

A Guia de Remision is the electronic transport document in Peru that certifies the movement of goods from an origin to a destination. It is submitted to SUNAT via Brinta and must accompany the goods during transport.

Field	Value
`invoice_type`	`transport`
`document_type`	`transport`
`e_invoice`	`true`
`currency`	`PEN`

Key Differences from MX Transport

Feature	Mexico (Carta Porte)	Peru (Guia de Remision)
Items categories field	`categories[]` (plural)	`category[]` (singular)
Municipality field	`municipality` (string)	`municipality_code` (SUNAT numeric code)
Driver identity	`RFC` + `license number MX`	`DNI` + `license number`
Company identity	`RFC`	`RUC`
Transport figures	SAT codes `01`/`02`/`03`/`04`	`business` or `person`
Station data	In `senders`/`beneficiaries`	In `transportation_companies`

Field by Field

Root Level

`invoice_serie`

SUNAT document series. For transport documents, typically starts with T (e.g. TDOC, T001).

`invoice_number`

Sequential document number. Must be unique per series.

`reason`

SUNAT transport reason code. Classifies why the goods are being moved.

Value	Description	When to use
`01`	Sale	Goods moving due to a commercial sale
`02`	Purchase	Goods moving due to a purchase
`03`	Return	Goods being returned
`04`	Transfer between own warehouses	Internal stock movement
`05`	Consignment	Goods sent on consignment
`13`	Others	Any other reason

`additional_info`

Free text that appears on the document. Optional — use for any relevant notes about the shipment.

`buyer`

The recipient of the goods from a commercial perspective — not necessarily the destination company.

`tax_registrations[].type`

Always RUC for Peruvian companies. RUC is the 11-digit SUNAT tax ID.

`senders[]` — Origin

The location where the goods are picked up.

`company.address.municipality_code`

SUNAT ubigeo code — a 6-digit numeric code that identifies the district in Peru.

This is not a postal code. It is Peru's official geographic classification code.
Example: 150132 = Lima, Lima, San Isidro.
Find codes at the official SUNAT ubigeo catalog or ask your local tax advisor.
Required for all Peruvian addresses in transport documents.

`company.tax_registrations[].type`

Use RUC for companies.

`beneficiaries[]` — Destination

Same structure as senders[]. Full address with municipality_code required.

`company.email`

Optional. If provided, SUNAT may use this for digital delivery of the document.

`transportation_companies[]`

Peru transport requires two entries: the carrier company and the driver.

Entry 1 — Carrier Company

Field	What to send
`company.type`	`business`
`company.tax_registrations[].type`	`RUC`
`company.address.municipality_code`	SUNAT ubigeo code
`company.transportation_data.station_date_time`	Departure date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format (date only, not datetime)
`company.transportation_data.station_external_id`	IATA or port code of the departure point (e.g. `LIM` for Lima)

Entry 2 — Driver

Field	What to send
`company.type`	`person`
`company.name` / `company.legal_name`	Driver's full name
`company.address.municipality_code`	SUNAT ubigeo code
`tax_registrations[].type = "DNI"`	Driver's national identity document number
`tax_registrations[].type = "license number"`	Driver's license number (use `license number` — not `license number MX`)

Both DNI and license number are required for the driver. Send them as two separate entries in tax_registrations[].

`vehicle`

Uses categories[] (plural, same as MX). Only two fields for Peru:

`list` value	What to send in `code`	Required
`plate`	Vehicle license plate	Yes
`container plate`	Container plate if applicable	No

`items[]`

`amount`

Use 0 when the document is purely a transport record with no commercial value (e.g. internal warehouse transfer). Use the actual value if goods have a declared commercial value.

`category[]` ← singular, not `categories[]`

`list` value	What to send in `code`	Required	SUNAT mapping
`SUNAT code`	SUNAT product/service code	Yes	SUNAT catalog code
`unit`	Unit code (e.g. `NIU` for unit, `KGM` for kg)	Yes	Unit of measure
`gross weight`	Total weight of the item	Yes	Gross weight
`weight unit`	Weight unit code (e.g. `KGM`)	Yes	Weight unit
`transport quantity`	Quantity being transported	Yes	Transport quantity
`transport code`	SUNAT transport reason code (same as root `reason`)	Yes	Transport motive
`DAM code`	Customs declaration number	No	For imported goods
`order number`	Purchase or shipment order reference	No	Reference only

`relations[]` — Related Documents

Optional. Use to reference the commercial invoice or previous transport documents associated with this shipment.

When to include `supplier`

Only include relations[].supplier when the related invoice was issued by a different company than the one issuing the Guia de Remision.

Scenario	Include `supplier`?
Same company issued the invoice and the transport document	❌ No
Different company issued the related invoice	✅ Yes

Common Mistakes

Mistake	What happens	Fix
Using `categories[]` instead of `category[]` in items	Brinta validation error	Peru items use `category[]` (singular)
`municipality_code` is a postal code	SUNAT validation error	Use the 6-digit SUNAT ubigeo code, not a postal code
Driver missing `DNI` or `license number`	SUNAT validation error	Both are required for drivers
`station_date_time` sent as datetime instead of date	Brinta validation error	Use `YYYY-MM-DD` format only — no time component
`license number MX` used instead of `license number`	Wrong registration type	Peru drivers use `license number`, not `license number MX`
`supplier` included when same company issued the invoice	Redundant data	Only include `supplier` when the related invoice is from a different company
`transport code` in items doesn't match root `reason`	SUNAT inconsistency	They should be the same value
