India–Chile PTA: which Indian garments pay less than 6% in Chile

Chile charges a flat 6% customs duty on almost every import, including clothing. O zamandan beri 16 Mayıs 2017, the expanded India–Chile Preferential Trade Agreement has cut that rate for a specific list of Indian garments, ile 30% veya 60%. It is not a zero-duty deal, and it does not cover every fabric: whether a garment qualifies depends on its fibre. This guide shows which garments get the margin, what it is worth on a shipment, and the certificate that claims it. Checked against Chilean customs sources on 7 Ekim 2026.

A margin, not a zero rate

The agreement gives a margin of preference: a percentage off Chile’s 6% general rate. A 30% margin leaves 4.2%; A 60% margin leaves 2.4%. Lines that are not in Chile’s list keep the full 6%.

Which garments get it

Garment from India With PTA certificate Without
Elbiseler: cotton or viscose, dokuma; pamuk, örme 4.2% 6%
Elbiseler: polyester, silk or linen woven; viscose or polyester knitted 6% (not in the list) 6%
Kaftanlar worn as dresses As dresses above 6%
Kaftans in a loose robe or cover-up cut: pamuk 2.4% 6%
Kaftans in a loose robe or cover-up cut: other fibres 6% (not in the list) 6%
Etekler: pamuk, dokuma 4.2% 6%
Etekler: other fibres, dokuma veya örme 6% (not in the list) 6%
Eşarplar: cotton or linen, dokuma 2.4% 6%
Eşarplar: viskoz, dokuma 4.2% 6%
Eşarplar: ipek, wool or polyester woven; örme eşarplar 6% (not in the list) 6%

The pattern is clear: Chile’s list favours cotton and viscose. A polyester or silk version of the same dress gets no reduction.

What it is worth on a shipment

Chile values imports on a CIF basis and charges 19% IVA on the CIF value plus duty. Take garments invoiced at CLP 10,000,000, with CLP 600,000 freight and CLP 50,000 sigorta (CIF CLP 10,650,000):

No certificate (6%) Cotton dresses with certificate (4.2%) Cotton robe-cut kaftans with certificate (2.4%)
Gümrük vergisi CLP 639,000 CLP 447,300 CLP 255,600
IVA, 19% arasında (CIF + duty) CLP 2,144,910 CLP 2,108,487 CLP 2,072,064

The duty saving is CLP 191,700 on the dresses and CLP 383,400 on the robe-cut kaftans. The IVA is normally recovered as input tax by a registered business, so the duty line is the real saving.

How to claim it

  • Chilean customs needs an Hindistan–Chile PTA certificate of origin issued in India. Indian exporters apply through the government’s eCoO platform.
  • The certificate must cover the garment line being entered. If the line is not in Chile’s list, the certificate does not lower the duty.
  • Describe the fibre content on the invoice. The fibre decides whether the line is in the list at all.
