Door to Door Air, Sea and land freight Options to or from Chile
Chile offers strong logistics gateways by sea and air.
Air Freight to/from Chile
Best for urgent shipments, small volumes, and essentials. Most international air cargo routes use Santiago (SCL) Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport as the main gateway.
Sea Freight to/from Chile
Top for entire household moves, furniture and as load carrier. Chile’s major ports that can assist with container freight, such as San Antonio and Valparaíso – and may include Iquique, Antofagasta or Arica depending on routing.
Land Freight
Chile is long and narrow, so inland trucking matters a lot after arrival. We coordinate delivery to your city, including regions far from the port.
Sea freight vs air freight for Chile
Here’s a simple comparison to help you choose:
| Option | Best for | Speed | Cost | Notes |
| Air Freight | Urgent personal effects, cartons | Fast | Higher | Ideal for essentials |
| Sea Freight (FCL) | Full household, large furniture | Slower | Lower per m³ | Private container |
| Sea Freight (LCL/Groupage) | Small-to-mid moves | Slower | Medium | Pay for space used |
20ft container & 40ft container household goods shipping service
If you ship a full home, a container gives you the best control.
| Container | Approx. internal volume | Best for |
| 20ft container | ~33 m³ | 1–2 bedroom home |
| 40ft container | ~67 m³ | 3–5 bedroom home / large relocation |
Tip: If you’re between sizes, groupage might save money. However, if you want faster handling and fewer touchpoints, FCL often wins.
Groupage cargo shipping from/to Chile
Groupage cargo shipping from/to Chile (LCL) means you share container space and pay only for the volume you use (m³). It’s popular for:
- Students and young couples
- Partial household moves
- Families shipping in phases
Still, groupage can take a bit longer because consolidation schedules matter. So we’ll tell you upfront if timing is tight.
Air & Sea Routes for shipping from/to Chile
We design routing based on your origin and destination city, timeline, and budget. Common patterns include:
- Air freight → Santiago (SCL) → final delivery
- Sea freight → San Antonio / Valparaíso → inland delivery to cities
- For northern regions, routing may use ports like Iquique or Antofagasta when it makes sense.
Because sailing schedules change, we confirm the best available route at booking, then share the expected timeline.
Customs clearance in Chile

Typical customs expectations (varies by case):
- Clear inventory/packing list in English or Spanish
- Transport document (BL/AWB)
- Passport and residency/visa details (where required)
- Restricted items: Chile has few prohibited/restricted imports, though there may be restrictions on agricultural items and regulated goods may require authorization.
