Customs duties

In Chile, almost all imported goods and products are subject to a 6% ad valorem customs duty. However, there are certain exceptions under bilateral and regional reductions as part of free trade agreements or similar agreements.

Chile has entered into free trade agreements with Australia, Canada, Mexico, the United States, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Peru, Colombia, Central America, South Korea, Malaysia, Panama, China, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong.

These agreements generally aim to eliminate customs duties between participating countries according to the terms outlined in each treaty.

Chile has also signed economic association agreements with the European Union, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and Brunei. Additionally, it has economic complementation agreements with Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mercosur, Venezuela, and a partial scope agreement with India
