Duty & tariff treatment for Chile

Chile applies a flat general import tariff to most goods, and there is no trade agreement with Sri Lanka. IVA is charged on the CIF value plus duty.

Standard commercial documents and a certificate of origin from Sri Lanka. Confirm the rate for your line with Chilean Customs.

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the Chilean Customs (Aduanas), and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our калькулятор стоимости с учетом всех расходов. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Typical requirements for bringing Cardamom into Chile include:

  • SAG plant-health requirements for Cardamom as a dried plant product, with SAG inspection on arrival.
  • A phytosanitary certificate from Sri Lanka’s National Plant Quarantine Service (NPQS).
