On October 16, 2015, the Chilean Ministry of Public Finance passed the Exempt Decree 320 to establish new applicable discounts on customs duties on wheat and wheat or meslin flour for a two-month period starting on October 16, 2015. The new law established different reductions on the ad valorem customs duties. The applicable discounts were USD 88.84 per tonne of wheat and USD 138.59 per tonne of wheat or meslin flour. The previously applicable discounts were USD 76.17 and USD 118.83 per tonne respectively.
