When the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA) came into force on January 1, 2004, tariffs on 90 percent of U.S. exports to Chile were eliminated immediately. Since January 1, 2015, all trade between the U.S. and Chile is duty-free (i.e., zero tariff), with limited exceptions for some alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and some luxury goods. For those products not of U.S. (or other FTA country) origin, Chile generally applies a uniform six percent tariff.
The U.S.-Chile FTA further addressed some other non-tariff import taxes that Chile applied. For example, under the FTA, Chile eliminated the 50 percent duty surcharge applied to used goods originating from the United States. In addition, Chile agreed to phase out its luxury tax on U.S.-made automobiles, and as of January 2007, the tax was eliminated completely.
