Expertise
Why Ship to Chile with DDPShipping?
Chile is one of the most predictable markets in Latin America to import into — if the paperwork is right. The China–Chile FTA, the DIN declaration, and the 19% IVA are where shipments are won or lost.
FTA Duty Reduction
Most Chinese-origin goods enter Chile at 0% ad valorem under the FTA, against the 6% general rate. We check the origin rules and the certificate before the cargo sails, not after it lands.
Clearance Through a Licensed Agent
Chilean customs requires a licensed agente de aduanas to formalise commercial imports. We work with agents at every gateway and stay accountable for the entry.
IVA and Duties Included
The 19% IVA, any specific duty, and the customs service fees are part of our DDP price. Your landed cost is fixed before you place the purchase order.

Chile Import Compliance
DDP Compliance Checklist for Chile
We pre-check the entry against Servicio Nacional de Aduanas and sector regulators, so your cargo is released instead of inspected twice.
1
DIN & SICEX
Imports are formalised through a Declaración de Ingreso (DIN) in the SICEX single window by a licensed customs agent. We prepare the entry data, valuation, and supporting documents in advance.
2
China–Chile FTA Origin
Preferential treatment depends on a valid certificate of origin and correct origin criteria. We verify the certificate against the invoice and HS code, because a defective certificate means paying the 6% general rate.
3
IVA 19% & Specific Duties
Chile applies a 19% IVA on the CIF value plus duties, and specific duties on certain goods such as sugar and wheat. Both are calculated into the quote so nothing surfaces at release.
4
SAG, ISP, SEC & Labelling
Food, agricultural goods, cosmetics, medical devices, electrical products, and telecom equipment need clearance from SAG, ISP, SEC, or SUBTEL. We identify the requirement before booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for importers moving cargo from China into Chile.
You provide the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin if you want FTA treatment. We handle the bill of lading, the DIN entry through a licensed customs agent, the tax calculation, and any SAG or ISP permits.
Yes. The quote covers freight, insurance, the 19% IVA, any applicable ad valorem or specific duty, and customs service fees. The figure you approve is the figure invoiced at delivery.
Most industrial and consumer goods of Chinese origin enter at 0% ad valorem under the China–Chile FTA, in force since 2006, against a 6% general rate. Some product lines are excluded, so we verify the HS code and origin criteria per shipment.
Transit to San Antonio or Valparaíso is typically 30 to 38 days from central and southern Chinese ports, and a few days more to the south. Air freight into Santiago takes 5 to 8 days door to door.
Commercial imports are declared with your RUT and formalised by a licensed customs agent. If you are setting up a Chilean entity, we can advise on the sequence so the first shipment is not held up.
Yes. We cover Antofagasta, Iquique, Copiapó, Concepción, Temuco, and Puerto Montt by truck from San Antonio or Valparaíso, and we quote the inland leg together with the ocean freight.
