BEIJING TIME: 
Chile · San Antonio
Chile has had a China agreement since October 2006. The upgrade signed in 2017 has been in force since 2019. Brokers already know the text. What fails is a certificate of origin that does not match the invoice, or a ZOFRI car sold as if it were for a national plate. Boxes on this file are planned for San Antonio. Valparaíso when that terminal is the line.
National plate or ZOFRI, on the proforma, before the factory cuts the invoice.
The preference needs a certificate, and the line must not be excluded.
Valparaíso only when the line already uses it. A battery car is Class 9.
The catalog follows the chassis that was actually cleared.
National plate and ZOFRI are identified first. Then lamps, clips and modules are quoted on that chassis.

Chile’s advantage is that the preference is ordinary work, not a negotiation. If the schedule opens the line and the origin is real, your agent can claim it. If the line is excluded, the agreement does not help, and we will not invent a rate. The official page of the agreement in force is SUBREI’s. https://www.subrei.gob.cl/acuerdos-comerciales/acuerdos-comerciales-vigentes/china
Container discharge is planned at San Antonio. Valparaíso is the other central terminal when your line already berths there. Iquique and the north are a different trade, and a ZOFRI operation is a different buyer. Tell us which one you are, before we book.
The certificate of origin sits on the commercial invoice, the packing list and the bill of lading. Under them, the car is still identified the same way: conformity certificate with the GB/T 15089-2016 category, M1 or N1; environmental information sheet; consistency certificate with dimensions, mass and powertrain. Chilean forms ask for that substance. We prepare the China file and we check the line with your agent. We do not file the declaration, and we do not turn a ZOFRI unit into a national car by wording. After the advance payment the factory issues exactly these three papers. The China compulsory product certificate and the consistency certificate are the same paper, not a fourth file. These China papers do not replace the local homologation and they are not a duty rate.
CarParts quotes the VIN on the declaration, and it needs to know whether that VIN was national or ZOFRI. CarLive is a beta China-network session for certified dealers on units bought through this desk, when the local portal will not open the car. It does not move a car between regimes.
B2B orientation. The schedule, origin rules and ZOFRI practice change. Not Chilean legal advice. Your agent files. A national plate and a ZOFRI unit are not the same file.
