US-Chile FTA — qualifying goods may enter duty-free

Chile is a significant source of organic chemicals imports into the United States, with approximately $30B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for organic chemicals from Chile reflects the post-SCOTUS landscape: a 10% Section 122 tariff replaced the previously higher IEEPA rates after the Court's February 2026 ruling.

The Section 122 tariff is subject to a 150-day statutory time limit and is set to expire approximately July 24, 2026, unless Congress acts to extend or replace it. Importers should monitor legislative developments closely as this deadline approaches.

Organic Chemicals (HTS Chapter 29) carry an average MFN duty rate of 4.2% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Chile.

Chile is party to the US-Chile FTA, which may provide preferential or duty-free access for qualifying organic chemicals. Importers should verify rules of origin requirements to take advantage of preferential rates.

Key products in HTS Chapter 29 imported from Chile include Ethanol, Methanol, Citric acid, Acetic acid, Acetone, and Benzene.
