What is excluded

Every RUC 10/15/17 (natural persons and special IDs): 12.5 million rows dropped at the first pass and never written.
EIRL (empresa individual de responsabilidad limitada): 33.5% of rows; the form carries the owner's name, so the name is masked as ***.
33 RUC-20 rows typed as natural person at the source.

Known limitations

SUNAT publishes no trade name and no registration date in the bulk files.
Exact employee counts exist for 39% of rows (NO DISPONIBLE for the rest); size_class is derived from them.
city is the province (Lima = Lima Metropolitana); district is kept in the Peru file.
No e-mail, phone or website at the source.
