Import Regulations of Arica.

It’s important to be physically present at the point of arrival when your vehicle arrives in order to retrieve it. If you are not from Chile, you can only import new vehicles. Foreign diplomats are exempt from taxation on new vehicles. Chilean diplomats can no longer import a vehicle under their exemption statute. Those who are returning to Chile but have been away for more than a year would still have to pay the taxes and duties. The bill of lading should state the weight of the vehicle. All imported cars have to pay duty and 19% tax based on the CIF.

Shipping Methods.

There are three methods that you might want to consider if you want to import your vehicle to Arica

• Roll-on/Roll-off: This is by far the fastest and the cheapest water-based transportation method. However, you wouldn’t be able to ship any personal belongings and you need to leave nothing in the car but your car jack, spare tire, and floor mats.
• Container shipping: This is slightly more expensive but you can ship as many personal belongings as you can fit in the container. There are two sizes – 20ft and 40ft – as per your choosing.
• Air Shipping: This is the quickest way amongst all but it’s also very expensive and a lot of people won’t go for it.
