Please note because of the regulations of the Servicio Agricola y Ganadero (SAG), all items must be placed in fumigated pallets; otherwise, the shipment will be held in quarantine upon arrival in Chile. This regulation has been enforced by the Chilean government to cut the transmission of plagues that have been eradicated from the country.
The importation of used cars in Chile is prohibited, unless for a Chilean citizen who returns to the country. When importing your household goods, personal effects and car, you need to be in the country to get the cargo released. Upon your arrival in the country, you will need to go to the International Police (Policia International) and get a document that confirms your time out of Chile. With this document and copy of the Released Bill of Lading, a Customs Broker (Agente de Aduanas) will ask you sign a power of attorney so they can do with clearance and complete the paperwork on your behalf.
Once all the fees including import tax and duty paid off, the container gets released from the port and you can arrange the pick-up of the container. Please note that usually, the containers allowed being out of the port five to seven days free; after this time, you will be subject to demurrage fees. Also note that once the vessel arrives at the port of unloading in Chile, you have between five and 10 days free; after this free time, your container will start to add storage charges. To avoid any extra charges, it is very important that you do your clearance on time and have the container released at the earliest possible opportunity. Please contact Chilean Customs for any questions that you may have. Chile, in western South America, runs along the continent between the Andes to the Pacific Ocean.
