Chile Customs Data is built on import declaration records published by the Chilean customs authority, covering trade intelligence on goods entering Chile. It provides the importer identity field (including anonymous DESCONOCIDO entries — a data-quality signal in itself), exporter Chinese/English dual naming, carrier-company fields (MSC CHILE S.A.), Spanish brand and pack descriptions (TEMPERA paint set "INCLUYE PINCELES Y PALETA DE COLORES"), payment-method visibility (ADVANCE PAYMENT AT DATE OF SHIPMENT), and bi-currency pricing (USD + CLP pesos). Below is a complete breakdown of the data field system, illustrated with a sample record (Chile import, July 2026). Fields whose source values are stored in Chinese (Chinese Name / Country in Chinese) are shown here in English translation.

🕵️ DESCONOCIDO as a Data-Quality Signal
When the importer is recorded as DESCONOCIDO ("unknown"), the shipment is typically a courier/courtesy or low-value consignment cleared in bulk — filter these out of buyer lists, or use their share as a market-formality indicator.
🚢 Carrier-Company Field
The third-party block names the ocean carrier (MSC CHILE S.A., country CHILE) — carrier-level market-share analysis per corridor is possible without B/L extrapolation.
🎨 Retail Pack-Level Spanish Detail
Goods description reaches retail-pack depth: TEMPERA paint, brand YIWU-F, "INCLUYE PINCELES Y PALETA DE COLORES" (includes brushes and color palette) — consumer-goods intelligence, not just chemical HS lines.
💳 Payment-Method Visibility
The payment method field (ADVANCE PAYMENT AT DATE OF SHIPMENT) reveals trade-finance terms per shipment — a rare field that turns customs data into credit-condition research.
💱 USD + CLP Dual Pricing
The same 14,770 kg container is priced at USD 1,360.41 and CLP 1,266,358.94436 — an implied rate of ~930 CLP/USD for FX-track and peso-cost analysis.
| Scenario | Core Fields | Correlated Fields |
|---|---|---|
| 🏢 Find Chilean Buyers | Importer (exclude DESCONOCIDO), HS Code | Product Description, Total USD Amount, Month |
| 🚢 Carrier Share Analysis | Carrier Company (MSC CHILE S.A.), Transport Mode, Destination Port (SAN ANTONIO) | Loading Port, Container Type |
| 💳 Trade-Finance Research | Payment Method (ADVANCE PAYMENT), Incoterm (FOB) | USD Amount, Exporter Country |
| 🛒 Consumer-Goods Tracking | Brand (YIWU-F), Spanish Description (INCLUYE PINCELES...) | Quantity, Package Type (CONTAINER 40) |
| 📈 Market Sizing | HS Code, Total USD Amount | Monthly Trend, Origin Distribution |
💡 Data Value Highlight
Chile Customs Data adds fields most datasets skip — ocean carrier company, payment method, container type — on top of retail-pack Spanish product detail and USD/CLP dual pricing. Ideal for carrier-share analysis, trade-finance research and consumer-goods tracking into San Antonio, Chile's main gateway.

💡 Data Value Highlight
Chile Customs Data adds fields most datasets skip — ocean carrier company, payment method, container type — on top of retail-pack Spanish product detail and USD/CLP dual pricing. Ideal for carrier-share analysis, trade-finance research and consumer-goods tracking into San Antonio, Chile's main gateway.
Q1: What is Chile Customs Data?
Chile Customs Data covers import/export trade records for Chile (CL). Each record contains the importer (including anonymous DESCONOCIDO entries), exporter with Chinese/English dual naming, carrier-company field, Spanish retail-pack goods descriptions, logistics with payment method and container type, and bi-currency pricing (USD + CLP). The sample record shown is a July 2026 sea import of tempera paint sets (HS 32131090) by an anonymous importer, carried by MSC CHILE S.A. into SAN ANTONIO.
Q2: What makes Chile data unique?
Four core differentiators:
1. Carrier-company field — MSC CHILE S.A. named directly, enabling carrier-share analysis.
2. Payment-method field — ADVANCE PAYMENT AT DATE OF SHIPMENT reveals trade-finance terms.
3. Retail-pack Spanish detail — TEMPERA, YIWU-F brand, "INCLUYE PINCELES Y PALETA DE COLORES".
4. DESCONOCIDO anonymous entries — a built-in data-quality/formality indicator.
Q3: How frequently is the data updated?
Updated monthly with full historical backfill. The sample record is month 202607, dated 2026/7/31, bill of lading no. 273249.
Q4: What does importer = DESCONOCIDO mean?
DESCONOCIDO is Spanish for "unknown" — the consignee was not individually declared (common for consolidated low-value courier cargo, samples, or bulk-cleared shipments). Handling guidance:
- Exclude from buyer-development lists (no outreach target).
- Use as a metric: the DESCONOCIDO share of total declarations per HS chapter is a proxy for informal/e-commerce inflows.
- Note this record still carries full goods (14,770 kg of tempera sets), value (USD 1,360.41) and route detail — usable for market sizing even without the buyer name.
Q5: What do the carrier fields add?
The third-party block names MSC CHILE S.A. (country CHILE) as the transport company. Combined with transport mode (Sea), destination port (SAN ANTONIO) and container type (CONTAINER 40, GENERAL cargo), you can compute carrier market share per corridor and per HS chapter — valuable for freight negotiations and logistics benchmarking.
Q6: What product is HS code 32131090?
HS 32131090 covers artists' / students' / hobby paints — tempera (Spanish: TEMPERA). The sample is a branded set (YIWU-F) that "INCLUYE PINCELES Y PALETA DE COLORES" — includes brushes and a color palette — i.e. a complete retail painting kit. Industry: Chemicals; Sub-industry: Other Chemicals. The brand/pack fields make consumer-goods assortment tracking possible (this is stationery-retail intelligence, not industrial paint).
Q7: How do the dual-currency price fields work?
Two value views:
- USD: total 1,360.41, weight unit price 0.09211/kg (14,770 kg gross); FOB total 1,321.12892 (unit 4.62546)
- CLP peso: total 1,266,358.94436
- Quantity track: 264 KILOGRAMS NET at unit price 4,796.81418
Implied FX: 1,266,358.94 / 1,360.41 ≈ 930 CLP per USD. Note the FOB vs total gap (1,360.41 − 1,321.13 = 39.28) isolates freight+insurance for landed-cost work.
Q8: How is the logistics information structured?
- Route: foreign loading port OTROS PTOS.DE CHINA (other Chinese ports) → transit country China (CN) → destination SAN ANTONIO.
- Transport mode: Sea; container type GENERAL; 1 package (CONTAINER 40).
- Payment method: ADVANCE PAYMENT AT DATE OF SHIPMENT — the buyer paid before/at shipment.
- Incoterm: FOB; customs office: SAN ANTONIO; bill no. 273249.
Q9: How do I develop Chilean buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter by HS chapter (this sample: 3213 — artists' paints) and month, excluding DESCONOCIDO.
2. Extract buyer names and check repeat-import frequency.
3. Reference the exact retail pack they buy (tempera sets with brushes + palette, YIWU-F-type kits).
4. Note payment terms in the market (ADVANCE PAYMENT dominates here) and align your own credit offer competitively.
Q10: How do I analyze carrier market share?
Steps:
1. Group records by carrier company (MSC CHILE S.A., ...), transport mode and destination port.
2. Compute TEU-equivalent share using container type fields (CONTAINER 40 = 1 per package count).
3. Compare San Antonio vs San Vicente vs Iquique corridors.
4. Correlate carrier choice with payment method and incoterm to profile logistics behavior.
Q11: How do I run cost and FX analysis?
Steps:
1. Pull USD 1,360.41 and CLP 1,266,358.94436 for the same shipment.
2. Compute the implied rate (~930 CLP/USD) and track it month over month.
3. Isolate freight+insurance: FOB 1,321.12892 vs total 1,360.41 → USD 39.28.
4. Benchmark: USD 0.092/kg on a full 40' container of tempera kits — extremely low unit value, typical of bulk consumer stationery.
Q12: How do I analyze Chile's import structure?
Analytical dimensions:
1. Formality: DESCONOCIDO share per HS chapter and month.
2. Corridor: loading port (OTROS PTOS.DE CHINA) × destination (SAN ANTONIO), transit-country mix.
3. Logistics: carrier share (MSC CHILE S.A.), container types.
4. Finance: payment-method distribution (ADVANCE PAYMENT vs credit terms) per buyer segment.
Q13: How do I spot hot products and assess risk?
Hot products: rank import value by HS code; flag YoY growth > 20%; hobby paints and stationery kits (this sample's category) track Chile's back-to-school retail cycle.
Risk framework:
1. FX risk — peso volatility; back-test with the USD/CLP dual values (implied ~930).
2. Payment risk — advance-payment markets signal tight credit; offering terms can win share but price the risk in.
3. Concentration risk — single-carrier dominance on a corridor raises schedule-risk; monitor carrier-share shifts.
