Import tariff

On January 27, 2015, the Chilean Ministry of Public Finance passed the Exempt Decree 8 to establish new applicable discounts on customs duties on sugar for a one-month period starting on February 1, 2015. The new law established different reductions on the ad valorem customs duties. The applicable discounts were USD 70.50 per tonne of raw sugar; USD 138.34 per tonne in refined sugars qualified as Grade 1 or 2; and USD 97.64 per tonne in refined sugars qualified as Grade 3, 4 and other substandard. The previously applicable discounts were USD 88.62, USD 155.82 and USD 115.50 per tonne respectively.

The objective of this decree is to establish a relative margin for internal prices to fluctuate in comparison to the international market.
