Chile: Exporter Guide Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CI2025-0013
Chile presents strong opportunities for U.S. exporters, supported by its open economy, transparent regulatory environment, and long-standing Free Trade Agreement with the United States. In 2024, Chile remains one of the Latin America's most stable and business-friendly markets, with a solid middle class, high urbanization, and growing demand of high-quality imported products. Chilean consumers show a strong preference for U.S. brands, particularly in categories such as dairy products, pork, beef, and poultry products, condiments and sauces, beer and distilled spirits, and confectionary products. U.S. exporters benefit from zero tariffs on most goods, a well-developed distribution network, and a retail sector receptive to innovation and premium offerings.
