Trade overview

Chile is the world's largest producer of copper and a major exporter of lithium, fresh fruit, wine, and salmon. The United States–Chile Free Trade Agreement, in force since 2004, has created a robust bilateral trade relationship with most tariffs eliminated. Chile's stable regulatory environment and extensive network of free trade agreements make it one of Latin America's most trade-oriented economies.
