1. Measures aiming to Facilitate the Cross-border Movement of Relief and Essential Supplies

1.1. Instructions for the simplified entry of goods that are declared by the health authority as critical supplies to face the emergency caused by the Covid-19 disease are approved:

- Imports for which Customs has been informed by the Health Authority that fall on goods destined by the importer for the prevention and control of the Covid-19 disease, requiring their entry to the territory with preferential character. The document in which such circumstance is reported may consist of a corporate email from the professional designated for these purposes by the Health Authority, sent to the box emergencias@aduana.cl and it should be added as basic clearance document.

- The importation will be carried out by the interested party before Customs or by a customs broker, authorizing the processing of an Import Declaration and Simultaneous Payment (DIPS Form F-17) or a DIPS Freight and Exemption, whether of a normal or advance process, regardless of the FOB value of the consignment.

- This simplified processing does not exempt from the obligation to have the authorizations and endorsements required by the competent authorities, prior to the entry of the goods, unless such authorities have exempted the importer, all of which shall be accredited at the time of the removal of the goods.

- Imports of supplies made by private entities that do not have the declaration of relief supplies by the Health Authority, may be eligible for facilities granted through the Exempt Resolution No. 1179/2020, for which they shall process the respective DIN (Entry Declaration) or DIPS (Entry Declaration and Simultaneous Payment) through a Customs Broker.

- Regional Customs Directorates and Customs Administrations shall take all the appropriate measures to assure both the agility in the processing of goods and their expedited release, safeguarding customs control through proper risk management.

The control and supervision on imports covering donated goods will be safeguarded, since the provisions of Exempt Resolution No° 2415 of 20.02.2014 of the Undersecretary of the Interior (Acting), which approve the “Manual de Procedimientos de la Utilización de los Recursos y los Bienes en caso de Emergencia o Catástrofe” in accordance with the provisions of

Chapter IV, number 3.1, also govern in respect of them. Regarding donations, Law No. 16.282 of the Ministry of Finance establishes Tax and Tariff Benefits, freeing imports of donated goods from all kinds of taxes, duties, or other charges collected by Customs, as well as freeing them from unloading/loading, movement, storage, complementary operations fees or others.

1.3. A list of the tariff classification is provided in the National Customs Tariff of relief goods to face the health emergency of Covid-19, on a referential basis, based on information published by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and an internal information collection. The specific classification will depend on the characteristics of each good and the application of the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Tariff Nomenclature.

1.4. A tariff reduction list applicable to relief goods to face the health emergency of Covid-19, for each trade agreement signed by Chile, is made available to users.
