Lithium Power Bank → Chile

Lithium Power Bank is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Chile.

Details

Lithium Power Bank is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Chile. Servicio Nacional de Aduanas treats single-unit personal effects as routine; no declaration required unless quantities suggest commercial intent (typically 5+ identical units). Pacific Alliance / Mercosur / CAFTA-DR / USMCA / Andean Community preferential treatment for member-state goods. Personal-import duty-free threshold is 30 USD; carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 19% VAT.

Leaving with this item

Power banks may be taken out of Chile freely but must travel in cabin baggage — lithium battery aviation rules, not customs, are the constraint.

Practical advice

Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. Servicio Nacional de Aduanas publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://www.aduana.cl/.
