Peru is fairly easy to buy in and they don't have this law, bikes are a tiny bit more expensive..

I have over stayed my Chilean export twice. it is a real law & they give you an export permit on exit. It can be extended for an additional six months as a matter of course. If you are over due, fines mounts quickly, $400 for about 9 months for me, but can be reduced to 10% fairly easily. I think only scofflaws would risk impoundment. YMMV
