Importing used Korean cars to Chile
Chile itself does not permit direct public import of used cars, but the Iquique free zone (ZOFRI) is a major Latin American re-export hub: Korean left-hand-drive cars up to 5 years old are admitted duty-free and re-exported to Peru, Bolivia and Paraguay. The audience for this lane is typically a trader serving the landlocked Andean markets rather than a Chilean end-buyer.
