international flight baggage restrictions?

11 years ago

so my airline is showing a special rate for peru at $70 per 2nd bag instead of the usual $40...not bad considering the extra distance...but then i lose trak of my rationale when i see that peru baggage is limited to 70lbs even at the most extensive range of over weight baggage,it says brazil flights will charge $400 for its ultimate limit of over size/weight baggage and accepts 100 lbs bags.........is it peru customs to limit the size/ weight and not the airline and does any one know of any other unusual limits to number of baggage and contents??? I¨ve flown several different international routes and seen a uniform standard except for peru...Whats up? i am worried i may have problems in the future whe trying to bring in music equipment where i have to buy smaller than needed to meet weight restrictions but then have to buy a second music unit to make up what i sacrificed in buying the smaller/lighter one....buy 2 smaller units to avoid one big one only to find out they only allow one unit and restricted weight/size...the unit keyboard makes the weight,so i buy the small key board but with the same electronic hardware and then buy a seperate big keyboard that is light because it doesnt invest in real electronic hardware other than whats neede to USB interface with devices that have the hardware to be driven by its keyboard..............the technical solution was to be the hard part and i got solutions but it seems the customs of peru may be designed to foil any possible chance for me to have advanced developments working for me........i will search on for details about peru customs and hope the inconsistencies in their lawfulness may have aloophole for me....
