Our Core Service: China to Chile LCL Sea Freight (Freight Collect)
Freight collect, also known as collect shipping, is a preferred arrangement for many Chilean importers where the consignee assumes responsibility for paying the freight charges upon delivery . This model gives you full control over the shipping process, allowing you to align delivery times with your operational needs and potentially optimize costs through our competitive rates . Our LCL service consolidates your goods with other shipments, eliminating the need to book an entire container and significantly reducing your logistics expenses—ideal for small to medium-sized orders.
Key Features of Our Service
Extensive Port Coverage: We operate from major Chinese ports (Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao) to all key Chilean ports including San Antonio (CLSAI), Valparaiso, Coronel, and Lirquen . San Antonio, Chile’s busiest container port located near Santiago, is our primary hub for efficient cargo distribution.
Transparent Transit Times: Direct shipments take 18-25 days; transshipment services (via Panama or Peru) take 28-35 days, depending on the port of origin and destination . We provide a fixed weekly schedule to ensure consistency for your supply chain.
Comprehensive Cargo Acceptance: We handle general cargo (non-hazardous), machinery, electronics, textiles, furniture, and FBA goods for Amazon Chile. Special arrangements are available for oversized items and temperature-controlled cargo upon request.
FTA Benefit Support: Leverage the China-Chile Free Trade Agreement (FTA) to enjoy zero customs duties on qualified "made in China" products . Our team assists in preparing the Certificate of Origin (Form F) to ensure you maximize tariff savings—if you miss submitting it upon import, we guide you through the one-year refund application process.
End-to-End Logistics: Services include cargo pickup from Chinese suppliers, warehousing, consolidation, export customs clearance, ocean freight, import clearance in Chile, and door-to-door delivery (DDU/DDP options available) .
