Storage in Chile

Warehousing in Chile near San Antonio and Valparaíso

Interworld Freight runs warehousing in Chile built for businesses operating in South America's most stable and trade-connected economy, with storage near Chile's principal ports of San Antonio and Valparaíso and distribution across the Santiago metropolitan region, covering the full cycle from import receipt to final-mile dispatch.

The facility sits in the Región Metropolitana logistics belt, with highway access to San Antonio port (80 km) and Valparaíso port (120 km), a direct connection to Ruta 5 for north-south distribution and proximity to Santiago's 7+ million consumer market. Buildings follow the NCh433 seismic code, security is BASC-certified and operations run on industry-leading Körber Warehouse Edge, a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for warehouse management systems, which delivers perpetual inventory accuracy with scanning at every touchpoint.

Chile's 33 free trade agreements with 65 economies, including the US, EU, China, Japan, South Korea and every Pacific Alliance member, create tariff-advantaged conditions that few countries in Latin America can match. Its ports, South America's most connected trade corridor, handle over 44 million metric tons of cargo annually, and 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 location minimizes the distance between vessel discharge and inventory availability.

FAQ

Warehousing in Chile, answered

What importers and distributors ask before storing inventory in Chile.
Ask us directly
or call +1 (646) 722-0968

What is a bonded warehouse in Chile and how does it benefit importers?

+
An Almacén Particular authorized by the Servicio Nacional de Aduanas lets importers store goods without paying customs duties or the 19% IVA right away, for up to 90 days (extendable). Goods can wait for domestic distribution, for preferential tariff documents under CPTPP or the Chile-China FTA, or for re-export to neighboring markets, which preserves working capital. Chile's tariff is a uniform 6% on goods without preferential origin, and U.S.-origin goods enter at 0% under the US-Chile FTA.

Why is Chile a strategic warehousing location?

+
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, and its Pacific ports of San Antonio and Valparaíso have direct liner connections to Asia, the US West Coast and Europe through the Panama Canal. As a CPTPP and Pacific Alliance member, it offers tariff preferences that reduce landed cost for goods entering or transiting the country. Its political and economic stability de-risks inventory positioning for businesses distributing across South America.

What technology runs your warehouse in Chile?

+
Körber Warehouse Edge WMS, a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader with a SaaS-based, auto-scalable architecture, integrated with our OMS for orders from Shopify, VTEX, Magento, Amazon, MercadoLibre and B2B portals, and with our TMS for route optimization, GPS tracking and push notifications to end customers. Real-time KPI dashboards track inventory accuracy, on-time reception and delivery, preparation correctness, shrinkage and damage rates and logistics cost efficiency, and the OMS synchronizes bidirectionally with WMS, TMS and ERP to eliminate dead time between cargo arrival and warehouse availability.

What fulfillment service levels do you run in Chile?

+
Our Chile fulfillment center operates on defined SLAs: orders received before the daily cutoff ship same-day, and Körber WMS picking and packing workflows keep accuracy rates above 99%. We support marketplace sellers on Falabella.com, Ripley and MercadoLibre, DTC brands and wholesale distributors processing 12,000+ shipments daily with a 99% fulfillment rate.

Do you manage customs clearance for goods warehoused in Chile?

+
Yes. We coordinate customs brokerage with the Servicio Nacional de Aduanas: tariff classification, duty calculation, verification of EUR.1, Form A and certificates of origin, electronic filing and inspection coordination, from vessel or aircraft to bonded storage and domestic release. You do not need to manage separate providers for each step. Commercial imports above US$1,000 FOB need a licensed customs agent (agente de aduanas) to file the DIN, and permits from SAG or ISP are processed through SICEX.

Where is the warehouse and where do you deliver?

+
In the Región Metropolitana logistics belt, 80 km from San Antonio port and 120 km from Valparaíso port, with direct access to Ruta 5. We deliver to Santiago, Concepción, Antofagasta and Temuco, with Same Day and Next Day options in the Región Metropolitana plus guaranteed national coverage from Arica to Punta Arenas, and redistribute consolidated cargo from Asian and North American origins to Argentina via the Los Andes/Mendoza corridor, Peru, Bolivia and other Southern Cone destinations. San Antonio (CLSAI) is Chile's main container port, and Valparaíso is CLVAP.

How much space do I need to start?

+
You can start with 20 pallet positions and grow to 3,000+, with no minimum commitment penalties. Seasonal scaling for CyberDay, Black Friday and Fiestas Patrias and project-based expansions for mining, tech and energy clients are part of the operating model, and build-to-suit designs cover everything from needs analysis and layout design to functional testing and go-live with dedicated support.

How is inventory protected in your Chile warehouse?

+
Seismic-rated construction to NCh433 (Chile's building code is among the world's most stringent), 24/7 video surveillance, perimeter intrusion detection, biometric personnel access and fire suppression, plus enhanced protocols for electronics, jewelry and telecommunications devices. Operations comply with BASC certification standards and Aduanas bonded warehouse regulations.
