Steps to Ship a Boat to Chile:

Age & Emissions Requirements

• Passenger Cars: Chile allows the import of new vehicles and restricts most used passenger vehicle imports, with few exceptions (returning residents, diplomats, or vehicles over 30 years old classified as classics/collectors).

• Vehicles must meet Chilean emissions and safety standards, especially in major cities where environmental rules are stricter.

• Classic or collector vehicles (30+ years old) may qualify for exemptions but require special approval and may be subject to additional duties.

Prohibited or Restricted Vehicle Types

• Right-Hand Drive Vehicles: Not permitted for registration in Chile. Only left-hand drive vehicles are accepted.

• Salvage, Rebuilt, or Severely Damaged Vehicles: Typically prohibited and may be denied entry unless properly documented and authorized under special import permits.

⚠️ Note: Chile applies import duties, VAT, and other taxes based on vehicle value, engine size, and emissions compliance. Importing newer, fuel-efficient, and eco-friendly vehicles is generally more cost-effective and easier to clear through customs.
