What happened
A Peruvian regulator fined an importer for bringing in unlicensed Hello Kitty and Kuromi goods.
Outcome
Importation infraction upheld (19 Jun 2025): a fine of 21.93 UIT (about S/ 117,325), seizure of 2,700 Kuromi bracelets and 400 Hello Kitty plushes handed to Sanrio, and entry in the Copyright Infringers Registry.
The legal nuance
Latin American enforcement increasingly runs through copyright and administrative bodies rather than courts. Reported by national press; the resolution number is from that coverage.
