What Regulations Are There on Importing Printers and Ink to Chile?

  • The U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA) came into force on January 1, 2004. Tariffs on 90 percent of U.S. exports to Chile were eliminated immediately. Since January 1, 2015, all trade between the U.S. and Chile became duty-free (i.e. zero tariff).  For those products not of U.S. (or other FTA country) origin, Chile generally applies a uniform 6 percent tariff.
  • Certain other imported “luxury goods” incur a 15 percent tax upon entry into Chile. These include:  beer, chicha, cider, wine and champagne; gold, platinum, and white ivory articles; jewelry and natural or synthetic precious stones; fine furs; mobile home trailers; caviar conserves and their derivatives; pyrotechnic articles, such as fireworks, petards, and similar items (except for industrial, mining or agricultural use); air or gas arms and their accessories (except for underwater hunting); electric vehicles; and fine carpets and similar articles.
  • The commercial forms used by both local importers and exporters are commercial invoices, certificates of origin, bills of lading, freight insurance, and packing lists. Special permission, certificates, and approval documents, such as sanitary and phytosanitary certificates, are required for most agricultural products and in special cases for industrial products.
  • Importation of hazardous chemicals is subject to advance authorisation. Authorisation also necessary for management of hazardous chemicals according to Decree 78 of 2010.
  • Because inks contain hazardous chemicals, it is important to follow Chile’s import regulations.

Why Should Chile Import Printers and Ink?

  1. Availability - The local industry has limited capacity and some clients in Chile require printers and ink promptly.
  2. High Product Cost - Given the domestic competition in Chile, printers and the continuous ink supply are more expensive to buy domestically than on the world market.
  3. Product Quality - While most international suppliers have a good brand reputation and quality, some smaller domestic manufacturers in Chile can have variant product quality.
