Exporting to Chile
Chile is one of the most open economies in the world and has an Association Agreement with the EU that offers preferential or zero tariff imports. Key markets include machinery, mining equipment, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, and agri-technology. Schiphol offers direct cargo flights to Santiago (SCL) via KLM Cargo and LATAM Cargo. Cargo-to-cargo transit usually takes 14–18 hours.
Customs & Regulations
Chilean customs (Servicio Nacional de Aduanas) operate efficiently and relatively smoothly. For most shipments, a commercial invoice, packing list, and — for preferential clearance under the EU-Chile agreement — a EUR.1 or issuer’s declaration suffice. SAG (Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero) inspections apply for food and agricultural products. Medical devices require ISP registration.
Practical Tips
- Request a EUR.1 or issuer’s declaration in time for preferential clearance — this can significantly reduce tariffs
- SAG phytosanitary requirements for wooden packaging (ISPM 15) are strictly enforced
- Documentation in Spanish is common and speeds up clearance
