Shipping to Iquique
Iquique, on the Pacific coast of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, is the capital of the Tarapacá region and home to the ZOFRI duty-free zone, one of the largest in South America.
Practical tips. Iquique suits consignees in northern Chile, including Antofagasta's mining region and Arica, and businesses using the free zone to store or re-export goods. The climate is dry and mild, so weather rarely affects deliveries. Chilean SAG inspections apply to food, plants and wood.
For Santiago and central Chile, San Antonio is much closer. Commercial importers in the free zone can defer duties until goods leave the zone.
Iquique's beaches and surfing also attract residents from abroad, and the city has a growing mining-services sector that receives commercial equipment from Canada, home to many of the world's mining suppliers.
