Impulsive partial differential equations provide natural framework for many evolution processes and phenomena in hydrodynamics, gasdynamics, population dynamics and discrete technologies. In the present paper, the authors investigate the basic theorem on impulsive differential inequalities generated by the impulsive periodic boundary value problem for hyperbolic partial differential equations of first-order having the form \[ z_t+ f(t,x)\circ z_x(t,x)= F(t,x,z),\quad z(0,x)= z(a_0, x), \] where ``\(\circ\)'' is the scalar product in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Each one of the components of \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n\) sweeps some real closed interval. The function \(f= (f_1,f_2,\dots, f_n)\) has a special rate of growth, for instance it can be quasimonotone and nonincreasing in \(x\). The impulsive effect is propagated by \[ z(t_i, x)= z(t^-_i, x)+ g_i(t^-_i, x,z(t^-_i,x))\quad (i= 1,2,\dots, k), \] for a finite number of fixed points \(\{t_i\}^k_{i=1}\) \((0<t_1<\cdots< t_k< a_0)\). The functions \(g_i(t,x,z)\) \((i= 1,2,\dots, k)\) are strictly decreasing in \(z\). A uniqueness criterion for periodic solution of the problem under consideration is shown. Moreover, sufficient conditions for existence of periodic solutions of an adequate boundary value problem with impulses are given as well.
