Shipping from Spain to Chile
The new EU-Chile trade agreement has applied since February 2025 and changed how origin is proven: without the correct declaration, you pay the general tariff.
What you need to know
- Customs
- Yes. Export declaration in Spain and import clearance with the National Customs Service (Servicio Nacional de Aduanas).
- Documents
- Commercial invoice with description, value and tariff code, and a packing list.
- Export declaration (DUA) filed with the Spanish Tax Agency, which generates the MRN; the exporter needs an EORI number.
- Proof of origin: the exporter's origin declaration with the wording set out in the agreement, and a REX number if the shipment exceeds €6,000. Since 1 February 2025 the EUR.1 is no longer valid.
- Taxes at destination
- General duty of 6% on the CIF value, which the agreement reduces or removes if origin is proven, and VAT of 19% on the CIF value plus the duty.
- Agreement with the EU
- EU-Chile Interim Trade Agreement, in force since 1 February 2025, with tariff preferences.
- Transport
- Air freight, express courier service and sea freight (San Antonio, Valparaíso).
- Cargo airports
- SCL · Santiago de Chile
- EU sanctions
- No EU restrictive measures (sanctions) apply to Chile.
Practical advice
The origin declaration can cover several shipments to the same customer over 12 months. If you export to Chile often, apply for a REX number and prepare a long-term declaration.
