Importing from Chile into Australia (2026)

Chile is one of Australias key Latin American trading partners, primarily exporting copper ores and refined copper, fresh fruit such as grapes and cherries, timber, seafood and wine. The ACLFTA, in force since 2009, has eliminated or significantly reduced duties on the majority of Chilean goods, making Chile a competitive source for agricultural produce, minerals and forest products.
