Chile is one of the most important economies in South America. The Andean country maintains commercial contacts with nations all over the world. These include the European continent.

There are trade agreements between the European Union and Chile that allow a fluid transit of goods, complying with a series of requirements and customs regulations. Not only with Europe as the origin of shipments, but also as a transit point for freight forwarding operations originating in areas such as the Middle East or North and East Africa.

Every year, there are thousands of exports to Chile that are carried out by air and sea transport. Most of them also travel by truck, van, or train through the overland part of the region.

For a company that is not used to ship products and goods from European countries to South America, this can be a complex task. In this sense, it is advisable to enlist the help of a logistics operator such as Logisber.

We have extensive experience in trade between Chile and countries such as Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece or Ireland, and other non-EU regions such as Switzerland or the United Kingdom. The products that are most exported from Europe to Chile are:

• Foodstuffs
• Medicines and pharmaceutical products
• Machinery and equipment
• Vehicles
• Fuels
• Dangerous goods
