Inquire NowChile stands as South America's premier open-market maritime economy, supported by over 26 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) including key bilateral frameworks with China, the United States, and the European Union. However, navigating the logistics landscape of Chile requires specialized ocean freight architecture capable of managing distinct regional port dynamics, strict phytosanitary regulations under SAG (Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero), and complex inland topography spanning 4,300 kilometers of coastline.
As a custom OEM freight forwarding manufacturer and supplier, SHIPIT Logistics® goes beyond standard freight brokerage. We design, build, and execute white-label and tailored logistics frameworks that integrate vessel chartering, carrier space guarantees, customs compliance, and port terminal management tailored for Chilean trade hubs like Valparaíso, San Antonio, Iquique (ZOFRI), and Antofagasta.
Our OEM ocean freight models are engineered around the specific operational realities of Chilean industrial buyers, agricultural exporters, and mining giants.
Chile produces over 24% of the world's copper. Supply chains feeding the Atacama Desert mining complex (Escondida, Chuquicamata) require heavy-lift, Out-of-Gauge (OOG), and Flat-Rack container management. SHIPIT provides custom engineering for oversized crushing equipment, haul trucks, and flotation cells routed via Antofagasta and Puerto Mejillones, complete with specialized low-boy inland drayage and road permits.
As a global powerhouse in fresh fruit exports (cherries, table grapes, blueberries) and wine, Chile demands unbroken cold-chain logistics. SHIPIT deploys Smart Reefer containers equipped with real-time CA (Controlled Atmosphere) and temperature telemetry. We facilitate seamless phytosanitary inspections under SAG and SERNAPESCA at San Antonio and Valparaíso, preserving shelf life for high-value Asian and North American destinations.
Connecting Chile's "Lithium Triangle" to global battery manufacturers requires strict IMDG Code hazardous material compliance. SHIPIT provides Class 9 Hazmat ocean freight transport for lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide exports, as well as inbound chemical reagents, backed by certified dangerous goods documentation and specialized container liners.
Serving as the commercial gateway for Bolivia, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina, the Zona Franca de Iquique (ZOFRI) is a major hub for retail consolidation. SHIPIT offers OEM buyer's consolidation services—pooling purchase orders from multiple global suppliers into unified containers for duty-free transit and warehousing inside ZOFRI.
