What is specific to Chile
Coverage in Chile
Santiago, Antofagasta, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso and the rest of the country are on the FedEx and DHL network, from the desert north to the south. The box is delivered to the address in your account, so write the street, number and comuna the way you write them locally.
Customs and tax in Chile
Since 25 October 2025 every international purchase pays 19% IVA (VAT), and personal, non-commercial purchases up to USD 500 pay no customs duty. Above USD 500 a 6% duty is added and IVA is charged on the value plus duty; US-origin goods are duty-free under the free trade agreement when origin is proven. Up to USD 3,000 the carrier clears the shipment, pays on your behalf and adds the amount to its bill; above that a customs agent is required. We prepare the clearance paperwork free of charge and your purchase invoice travels with the box from the start. For updates: the customs website aduana.cl.

No prior registration with the tax service is asked of you. Your invoice is in US dollars exactly as the calculator shows, and your card converts from Chilean pesos at your bank’s rate; nothing is added after payment.

Questions from customers in Chile
19% IVA (VAT) on every international purchase since 25 October 2025. Personal purchases up to USD 500 pay no customs duty; above that a 6% duty is added and IVA is charged on the value plus duty. The carrier pays it for you up to USD 3,000 and adds it to its bill.
In principle, yes: the US–Chile free trade agreement sets the duty at zero for US-origin goods, while other goods pay 6% above USD 500. What counts is where the product was made, not where it was bought, so an item made outside the US pays the duty even if you bought it from a US store; the 19% IVA is due either way.
The recipient’s RUT or RUN, which goes on the air waybill and the invoice for every shipment. Add it to your shipment notes and we put it on the paperwork before the box leaves Oregon, so nothing is held up on arrival.
Cosmetics, creams, nail polish, medicines and supplements with therapeutic claims are held by customs unless they carry approval from the Public Health Institute (ISP). Build your order around clothing, footwear and electronics, and check with ISP before buying any health product.
Economy takes 7–9 business days and Express 5–7 from the day the box leaves our receiving center, and the tracking number reaches you as soon as it ships. IVA must be paid before the shipment is released, so pay the carrier as soon as it notifies you.
