Importing from Chile
Imports from Chile via air freight are highly seasonal and mainly consist of fresh products: salmon, berries, cherries, grapes, asparagus, and avocados. Additionally, the Netherlands imports Chilean wine samples, copper samples, and specialty minerals.
Air Freight vs. Sea Freight
Sea freight from Valparaíso or San Antonio to Rotterdam takes 22–28 days. Air freight via Schiphol is ready for clearance within 1–2 business days— essential for fresh products, especially during peak season (November–February) when cherries and berries must reach the European market.
Customs on Imports from Chile
Under the EU-Chile Association Agreement, Chilean products enjoy preferential import duties or zero tariff, provided they have a correct EUR.1 or invoice declaration. Fresh products are subject to EU phytosanitary and veterinary inspections at Schiphol via the NVWA. Aircargo.nl handles the complete clearance including NVWA coordination.
