What are the duties on U.S. direct exports to Chile?
As of January 2006, 95 percent of all U.S. exports to Chile are dury free. The remaining 5 percent included duties primarily on agricultural products. Key U.S. exports such as autos and auto parts, computers and IT equipment, medical devices and contruction and agricultural equipment all won instant duty-free access. In addition, Chilean tariffs on more than three quartersof U.S. farm products will be eliminated within four years. By 2015, all trade between the two countries will be duty-free. For those products still subject to duty and products not of U.S. (or other FTA country) origin, Chile generally applies a uniform 6 percent duty.
