Chile Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-06-14, US imports from Chile carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 122 baseline applied to all countries, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. Goods qualifying under the US-Chile FTA may enter with reduced or zero base duty, though the Section 122 tariff still applies. The 10% Section 122 tariff was ruled unlawful by the Court of International Trade in May 2026, but a Federal Circuit stay is keeping it in force pending appeal; absent that, it is set to expire around July 24, 2026.

Chile Import Tariff Overview
Chile benefits from the US-Chile Free Trade Agreement, which eliminates tariffs on virtually all goods. The 10% Section 122 tariff applies only to the narrow set of non-FTA-covered products, giving Chile one of the lowest effective tariff positions among US trading partners.
The US-Chile FTA has been in effect since 2004 and covers over 99% of bilateral trade in goods. Chile is one of the most trade-open economies in the world, with FTAs covering over 60 countries. Annual US imports from Chile total approximately $16B.
Key Products Imported from Chile
Top imports from Chile include copper and copper products, fresh fruit (grapes, blueberries, cherries), wine, lithium, salmon and seafood, and wood products. Chile is the world's largest copper producer and a growing lithium supplier critical for EV batteries.
Recent Changes
Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs; Chile's rate unchanged since FTA covers 99%+ of goods. Section 122 at 10% applies to the small remainder (expires ~July 24, 2026). Chile's lithium exports are growing as the US prioritizes critical minerals for EV batteries. Section 232 tariffs apply to Chilean metals at 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring).
Tips for Importers
Nearly all Chilean goods qualify for duty-free entry under the FTA — maintain proper certificates of origin. Chilean lithium and copper may qualify for critical minerals provisions under recent US legislation, providing additional incentives beyond the FTA. Chile's counter-seasonal fruit growing cycle makes it a strategic year-round produce supplier. Compare Chilean wine pricing with Australian (AUSFTA duty-free) and New Zealand (10% Section 122) alternatives.
How Are US Tariffs on Chile Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Chile are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the Section 122 tariff at 10%, which applies to all countries and is set to expire around July 24, 2026. (The Court of International Trade ruled this tariff unlawful in May 2026; it remains collected under a Federal Circuit stay while the government’s appeal proceeds.) Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate. Chile benefits from the US-Chile FTA, which can eliminate MFN base duties on qualifying goods — though the Section 122 tariff still applies on top of FTA preferences.

Already importing from Chile? If you paid the higher pre-SCOTUS IEEPA rate in 2025, you may be able to claim an IEEPA tariff refund. And if you re-export or manufacture with imported goods, duty drawback can recover up to 99% of the duties you paid — both are separate from the rates above.
