Can this car get in?
- • Used cars may only be imported from the US / Canada (USMCA); Chinese used cars cannot enter — new cars can
- • Who can import: Mostly companies: RUT tax ID and a licensed customs broker required; individuals may import a new car for own use through a broker; the 0% FTA rate needs a Form F certificate of origin
- • Used cars cannot be imported (Law 18.483 art. 21); the only exceptions are Chileans returning after 18+ months abroad, residents of the Iquique / Punta Arenas free zones and diplomats
- • Under the Chile–China FTA China-built cars pay 0% duty (6% general rate without a Form F), 19% VAT and no import excise; the old luxury-car import tax (art. 46) was abolished from 2007
- • New cars need a 3CV homologation certificate or individual approval; left-hand drive
