Cars and containers at Puerto San Antonio — JCHCAR Chile

Chile · San Antonio

Chile has the port. The 3CV file still has to match the car in the box

Unlike Bolivia, your customer’s country is the discharge country. JCHCAR sails to San Antonio, Valparaíso or Iquique. Your agente de aduanas and the 3CV path are what turn that container into a Chilean plate.

01

Santiago or the north

A national plate and a ZOFRI unit are not the same order

02

3CV before the deposit

If the homologation is missing, we do not sail and hope

03

Direct discharge

San Antonio, Valparaíso or Iquique

04

Service

Direct ocean, still a paperwork market

You do not need a MIC/DTA to reach Chile. You do need Servicio Nacional de Aduanas and, for the plate, a homologation path your agent believes the 3CV will accept. We supply the China pack that the technical file is built from. We do not stamp a Chilean certificate we are not allowed to issue.

Iquique is not automatic

ZOFRI can be the right regime for a dealer who is not nationalizing into the rest of Chile. It is the wrong regime if the car is meant for a Santiago plate. Say which one when you ask for the quote. The duty outcome follows that choice; we will not blur it to show a lower number.

What Chilean floors request

Electric and plug-in crossovers, and specific China-built nameplates when the factory will allocate them. We quote USD wholesale, EXW or the Incoterm on the PI, for importers who already have a workshop in Santiago, Concepción or the north.

After the plate

CarParts keeps the VIN supplied. CarLive is the remote session for certified dealers when a China-export unit will not open on the local brand portal.

B2B note for Chilean importers. Aduana, 3CV and ZOFRI rules change. Not legal or tax advice.
