Buy Used & New Cars from China to Chile - Wholesale Exporter
Chile bans used-car imports outright under Ley 18.483, with narrow exceptions such as returning residents. Iquique’s Zofri free zone can hold and re-export stock, but a car cannot be registered in Chile.

The rules that decide the deal
Used vehicles cannot be registered. Two workable angles remain: new vehicles, and using Zofri as a re-export warehouse serving Peru and Bolivia without clearing into Chile.
San Antonio is the main container port and Iquique serves the free zone. The Zofri route is a logistics play, not a Chilean retail play.

Chile import questions
- What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Chile?
- Used vehicles cannot be registered. Two workable angles remain: new vehicles, and using Zofri as a re-export warehouse serving Peru and Bolivia without clearing into Chile.
- Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Chile?
- Chile drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Used vehicles cannot be registered. Two workable angles remain: new vehicles, and using Zofri as a re-export warehouse serving Peru and Bolivia without clearing into Chile.
- Which port does a car from China clear at for Chile?
- San Antonio and Iquique. San Antonio is the main container port and Iquique serves the free zone. The Zofri route is a logistics play, not a Chilean retail play.
- How much does it cost to import a car from China to Chile?
- Charges are confirmed per unit against the tariff in force, so this lane is quoted rather than priced from a table. Send the model, model year and engine size and you get the full landed cost.
- How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
- Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
- Is it cheaper to ship one car or several to Chile?
- RoRo is the simplest option for a single unit. A 40ft container normally carries two to four cars, so once you have enough volume to fill one, the cost per car drops noticeably — and the vehicles are not exposed on deck. Both are quoted on request for this lane.
