Traveling to Chile with new iPhone (still sealed in box) - Will I have problems?

Upvote:5

According to the Chilean Government FAQ for International Travelers, you are entitled to bring in non-commercial goods up to USD 1,500.00 FoB value.

You would then be responsible for the following duties and taxes:

  1. 6% over customs or CIF value
  2. 19% VAT

Now, these customs taxes and duties would be owed because you are importing a good bought overseas into Chile. You would be responsible for declaring the new phone on your customs form.

If the phone were your personal one, that you took with you, and conversely brought back with you, you would not owe these duties.
