Chile-Türkiye Free Trade Agreement

The Free Trade Agreement between Chile and Türkiye entered into force on March 1, 2011.

The Agreement has been undergoing a modernization process since 2016, which aims at expanding its preferential terms beyond the trade in goods. 

The Agreement provides for the elimination of border tariff for the following products, among others : 

• agglomerated and reduced iron;
• alumina, scrap metal, ammonia, crude steel, aluminium; 
• solar PV modules, solar cells, solar wafers, polysilicon; 
• battery packs, battery cells; 
• anodes, cathodes and electrolysers; 
• heat pumps; 
• electric vehicles and ICE cars.

Rules of origin apply. Goods are counted as originating from each country and thus benefitting from preferential tariff treatment if:

• wholly produced or obtained in the country
• their regional value content is above a 20% to 50% threshold, depending on the product
• meeting specific standards - mainly minimal cover changes in HS codes.
