bring electronics without declaring them

Peru requires passengers to file a baggage declaration when they carry taxable goods, excluded goods, restricted goods or prohibited goods. Undeclared goods that should have been declared can be seized by customs.

bring tobacco over the allowance

Peru treats only limited tobacco quantities as inafecto baggage. Tobacco above the passenger allowance is not covered by the exemption and should be declared and taxed.

bringing duty free goods

Peru allows certain passenger goods to enter as inafecto baggage, but goods outside the exempt list or above the exemption limits are taxable and must be declared. Passenger goods not on the exempt list may pay 12% up to the traveller limit, with higher-value goods falling into the normal import regime.

Albania Customs states that the import, export or transit of narcotics, narcotic medicaments and psychotropic substances is prohibited. That makes bringing medical cannabis into Albania unsafe to treat as lawful on a general traveler basis.

NoTravel

Argentina

Argentina allows patients to request ANMAT authorization to import a cannabinoid or cannabis-derived product needed for treatment when it is not marketed in Argentina. Official guidance says the import route is tied to medical indication and the exception-access regime.
