South America rewards precise eligibility planning: the same vehicle can be legal in one country, borderline in a second and barred in a third. We ship factory LHD Chinese vehicles and help you match stock to the destination’s age window before you pay a deposit.
Bolivia (via Iquique or Arica, Chile)
| Item | What applies |
|---|---|
| Steering side | Factory LHD required (all our China-market stock is factory LHD — never converted RHD) |
| Age gate | Ordinary passenger-vehicle imports follow a strict two-year window by model year (current/following model year = “new”). Older units are high-risk — we only quote 2026 model-year stock for 2026 shipments |
| Route | Landlocked: ocean to a Chilean/Peruvian Pacific port (Iquique, Arica or Ilo), then bonded overland transit to a Bolivian customs destination |
| Checks | IBMETRO emissions acceptance certificate and Aduana Nacional valuation — confirm both for your exact VIN before shipping |
| Taxes | Duty by HS code + IVA 13% + ICE where applicable |
| Transit | 5–7 weeks port-to-port plus overland (indicative) |
Peru (Callao)
| Item | What applies |
|---|---|
| Used imports | Allowed up to 5 years old and under 80,000 km, factory LHD (D.S. 005-2020-MTC framework) |
| Taxes | Duty ~9% + IGV 18% on CIF-plus-duty |
Chile (read before transiting via Iquique)
Chile prohibits used passenger-vehicle imports to the mainland (Law 18.483, Art. 21). The Iquique free zone (ZOFRI) is a genuine regional hub — but it serves onward movement, principally to Bolivia and Peru, not resale inside Chile. If a buyer in Chile wants a vehicle, it must be new — which our 2026-production stock is.
