Good to know before importing into Chile
Use the FTA
With a valid certificate of origin, many Chinese products enter with reduced or zero duty. We ask the supplier to issue it with the shipment.
Customs agent above a threshold
Commercial imports above a certain value must go through a licensed customs agent in Chile.
SEC for anything electrical
Electrical and gas products need SEC certification before sale.
