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 operates direct cargo flights to Santiago (SCL) via KLM Cargo and LATAM Cargo. Cargo-to-cargo transit typically takes 14–18 hours.
Customs & Regulations
The Chilean Customs (Servicio Nacional de Aduanas) operates efficiently and relatively smoothly. Most shipments require a commercial invoice, packing list, and— for preferential clearance under the EU-Chile agreement— an EUR.1 or declarant statement. SAG (Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero) inspections apply for food and agricultural products. Medical equipment requires ISP registration.
