Medicines and APIs are regulated by the ISP, which grants sanitary registrations and import authorisations. Chile's hazardous substances regulation, DS 57/2019, is phasing in GHS classification, labelling and notification duties for importers. Precursor chemicals must be entered in the special registry for controlled chemical substances. Preferential duty under the India–Chile PTA requires a valid certificate of origin in the agreement's format, and dangerous goods follow IMDG or IATA rules. Your customs broker can confirm which obligations apply to each product.
