Navigating the regulatory landscape for Importer of Record (IOR) services in Chile, especially for high-tech sectors like IT, telecom, and aerospace, presents its own set of challenges. Chile’s stringent import controls require full compliance with both national and international standards to guarantee smooth customs clearance.
From securing the necessary permits to meeting all product certifications, Uproot Technologies ensures that businesses remain fully compliant with Chilean regulations.
Procurement and Shipping from the US
For many of our clients, importing hardware from the US into Chile proves to be a more efficient and cost-effective solution despite the strict regulations. Purchasing in the US often provides greater control over the procurement process, offering better options and clearer pricing transparency compared to local sourcing.
Additionally, Chilean re-sellers may have extended lead times for high-tech equipment, making it faster and more reliable to buy in the US and ship directly to Chile. Uproot Technologies simplifies this process, managing every aspect of customs and logistics to ensure timely and hassle-free delivery to your location in Chile.
Compliance with Local Regulations
Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones (SUBTEL) Approval for Telecom Equipment
All telecommunications equipment, including 4G/5G infrastructure, wireless communication systems, and networking hardware, must adhere to the technical standards set by the Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones (SUBTEL). Approval from SUBTEL is required for the legal import of telecom products, ensuring that all equipment aligns with Chile's operational and safety specifications.
Aerospace Equipment Certification
Aerospace imports must comply with stringent safety and technical requirements set by Chile’s aviation authorities. This includes obtaining certifications that verify adherence to aviation safety regulations, particularly for aircraft components and avionics used in both defense and commercial aviation sectors.
