Why choose Interworld Freight's warehousing & fulfillment center in Chile?

Chile's network of 33 free trade agreements covering 65 economies, including the US, EU, China, Japan, South Korea, and every Pacific Alliance member, creates tariff-advantaged conditions that few countries in Latin America can match. Our warehousing operations are structured to translate that trade access into logistics performance:

  • South America's most connected trade corridor: Chile's ports handle over 44 million metric tons of cargo annually. San Antonio and Valparaíso rank among the Pacific coast's busiest terminals, with direct liner services to Shanghai, Yokohama, Los Angeles, Hamburg, and Santos. Our warehouse location minimizes the distance between vessel discharge and inventory availability.

  • Configurable storage for diverse cargo profiles: Selective rack systems for palletized and oversized loads, shelving systems for unit-level piece logistics, block-stacking for beverage and food pallets, open yard for mining components and construction materials. We allocate space by product requirements, including specialized high-value product security for electronics and telecommunications devices.

  • Industry-leading warehouse technology: Our operations run on Körber Warehouse Edge, recognized as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems. This SaaS-based, auto-scalable WMS delivers perpetual inventory accuracy with scanning at every touchpoint. Real-time dashboards and automated reporting keep your operations team informed without manual stock checks.

  • Customs-integrated bonded storage: Chile's Almacén Particular (private bonded warehouse) framework allows duty and IVA deferral on imported goods until they enter domestic commerce or are re-exported. We operate within this regime under Servicio Nacional de Aduanas authorization, giving you fiscal flexibility on high-value and high-volume imports.

  • End-to-end value-added services: Labeling to Chilean regulatory standards (ISP, SAG, SERNAPESCA requirements), thermal lamination, product customization, promotional kitting, retail-ready packaging, quality inspection, and returns processing, executed inside our warehouse to consolidate your vendor count and reduce coordination overhead.

Our warehousing freatures in Chile

Our Chile warehouse infrastructure is engineered for seismic resilience, operational throughput, and regulatory compliance. Purpose-built racking systems, dock-height loading bays, and controlled-access zones support both general merchandise and regulated goods categories. With 24/7 operational visibility and GPS-monitored distribution, the facility is designed to move product, not just store it.



 

Bonded warehousing

Chile's bonded warehouse regime, supervised by the Servicio Nacional de Aduanas, permits imported goods to remain in storage for up to 90 days (extendable) without payment of customs duties (19%). For businesses re-exporting through Chile or managing phased imports, this structure preserves working capital and provides operational flexibility, especially for goods moving under Pacific Alliance, CPTPP, or Chile-China FTA preferential tariffs.

Shared warehouse space

Access warehousing in Chile without committing to a long-term lease or full facility cost. Our shared warehousing model provides allocated rack positions, floor space, and access to outbound logistics infrastructure, priced by volume and duration. This works for importers testing the Chilean market, seasonal operators scaling for CyberDay Chile or Navidad peaks, and regional distributors building initial inventory positions.

Industrial warehousing solutions

Chile's mining, forestry, agriculture, and renewable energy sectors generate demand for warehouse space that accommodates heavy, oversized, and non-standard cargo. Our industrial warehousing offers reinforced slab flooring, wide-aisle forklift configurations, outdoor staging areas, and multiple storage systems, selective rack warehouses for palletized and oversized loads, plus shelving for piece and unit logistics, built for the realities of Chile's extractive and infrastructure industries.

Long- and short-term storage

From 72-hour cross-dock holds to 12-month inventory programs for seasonal agricultural exports (wine, fresh fruit, salmon), our storage terms flex to match your supply chain rhythm. No minimum commitment penalties, scale up before peak, scale down after.

Inventory control and management

Our Körber Warehouse Edge WMS delivers perpetual inventory accuracy with scanning at every touchpoint. Cycle counting, lot and batch tracking, serial number reception, FIFO/FEFO rotation enforcement, and expiration management are standard. KPI dashboards monitor inventory accuracy, on-time reception, on-time deliveries, correct preparation (in full), and shrinkage and damage rates, providing a single source of truth for stock positions across your Chilean operation.

Fulfillment services

B2C and B2B fulfillment from our Chile warehouse, order ingestion, pick-and-pack, carrier selection, and dispatch with tracking updates pushed to your platform. Our OMS (Order Management System) connects directly with Shopify, VTEX, Magento, Amazon, MercadoLibre, and B2B/EDI portals, capturing orders from every sales channel into a unified fulfillment workflow. We support marketplace sellers (Falabella.com, Ripley, MercadoLibre), DTC brands, and wholesale distributors processing 12,000+ shipments daily.

Packaging and crating

Export crating to ISPM-15 and NIMF-15 standards, stretch-wrapping, thermal lamination, product customization, and retail display-ready configurations. For goods entering Chile, we repackage to meet local labeling and regulatory requirements (ingredient declarations in Spanish, SAG phytosanitary markings, ISP health registrations) before distribution.

Pallet labeling

GS1 Chile-compliant barcoding, SSCC labels for supply chain traceability, retailer-mandated labels (Cencosud, Walmart Chile, SMU), and customs-required country-of-origin and tariff classification markings. Applied at warehouse level to prevent rejection at retail distribution centers or customs inspection points.

Security and compliance

Seismic-rated construction (Chile's building code is among the world's most stringent), 24/7 video surveillance, perimeter intrusion detection, biometric personnel access, and fire suppression systems. Specialized high-value product handling with enhanced security protocols for electronics, jewelry, and telecommunications devices. Our operations comply with BASC certification standards and Aduanas bonded warehouse regulations, providing both physical security and regulatory integrity.

Flexible space options

Start with 20 pallet positions. Grow to 3,000+. Our build-to-suit model designs operations and distribution centers adapted specifically to your logistics requirements, from needs analysis and layout design to system configuration, functional testing, and go-live with dedicated support. Seasonal scaling for retail peaks (CyberDay, Black Friday, Fiestas Patrias) and project-based expansions for mining, tech, and energy sector clients are built into our operational model.

Shipping & receiving

Inbound: container receipt from San Antonio/Valparaíso port drayage, devanning, inspection, palletization, and WMS-registered put-away. Outbound: order consolidation, load planning, carrier dispatch, and documentation generation for domestic delivery (Santiago, Concepción, Antofagasta, Temuco) and international re-export. Our TMS provides route optimization, GPS tracking, and real-time delivery visibility with smart push notifications to end customers.

Vehicle shipping & receiving

We handle B2B distribution to supermarkets, retail chains, and branch locations nationwide, plus B2C last-mile delivery to homes and businesses with Same Day, Next Day, Express, and scheduled delivery options. For international operations, we receive consolidated cargo from Asian and North American origins and redistribute into Argentina (via Los Andes/Mendoza corridor), Peru, Bolivia, and other Southern Cone destinations.

FAQ´s

A bonded warehouse (Almacén Particular) in Chile, authorized by the Servicio Nacional de Aduanas, allows importers to store goods without immediate payment of customs duties or the 19% IVA. Goods can be held in bond while you arrange domestic distribution, await preferential tariff documentation under agreements like CPTPP or the Chile-China FTA, or prepare re-export to neighboring markets. This defers tax liability, preserves working capital, and gives you time to optimize your distribution strategy before committing goods to domestic commerce.



Chile has more active free trade agreements than any country in Latin America — 33 agreements covering 65 economies that represent over 85% of global GDP. Its Pacific coast ports (San Antonio, Valparaíso) provide direct liner connections to Asia, the US West Coast, and through the Panama Canal to Europe. As a CPTPP and Pacific Alliance member, Chile offers tariff preferences that reduce landed cost for goods entering or transiting through the country. For businesses distributing across South America, warehousing in Chile provides a fiscally efficient, logistically connected base with political and economic stability that de-risks inventory positioning in the region.



Our Chile operations are powered by Körber Warehouse Edge, a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader in warehouse management systems. This SaaS-based, auto-scalable WMS integrates with our OMS (Order Management System) for multi-channel order capture from Shopify, VTEX, Magento, Amazon, MercadoLibre, and B2B portals, plus our TMS (Transportation Management System) for route optimization, GPS tracking, and smart push notifications to end customers. Real-time KPI dashboards track inventory accuracy, on-time delivery, preparation correctness, and logistics cost efficiency.

Yes. Our Chile warehousing service includes coordinated customs brokerage through the Servicio Nacional de Aduanas. We handle tariff classification, duty calculation, trade agreement certificate verification (EUR.1, Form A, certificates of origin), electronic customs filing, and physical inspection coordination. Goods move from vessel or aircraft to bonded warehouse to domestic release without requiring you to manage separate providers for each step.
