Pain Points
Trade Pain Points and Possibilities
One of the most important considerations when importing into Chile is the need for insurance. If goods are uninsured on arrival at customs or proof of insurance cannot be produced, customs will assume a value of 2%. This has a knock-on effect and can change the taxable value of the shipment. These unforeseen costs can have catastrophic consequences on profit margins.
