For every Onvoyo box: Onvoyo can't carry prescription drugs. Over-the-counter medicine and vitamins follow the destination's own rules.

More rules for Chile

Medicines, cosmetics, and medical devices: Need a Customs Destination Certificate with provisional-use authorization (CDA) from the Public Health Institute (ISP). Apply online with a prescription showing the treatment length, the invoice or receipt, and the transport document. Allow about 15 business days.

Medicines: Travelers may carry amounts suited to their needs and stay, over the counter or with a prescription. Shipped medicines need ISP authorization.

Tax-free limit: Occasional, non-commercial shipments worth up to USD 500 FOB (about CLP 463,000), such as gifts or your own used belongings, are free of duty and IVA under tariff heading 00.23, subject to customs review. Online purchases work differently: up to USD 500 they pay no duty but do pay 19% IVA, usually charged at checkout by platforms registered with the tax service. The old USD 41 tax-free limit ended on October 25, 2025.
Receiver ID: RUT (Rol Único Tributario) needed. Courier waybills sent to Chilean customs must carry the receiver's valid RUT. If the receiver has no RUT yet, the courier may file a temporary generic RUT but must correct it within 30 days of arrival, so tell the courier before you ship.
Transit: 3-5 business days from North America or Europe; 4-7 from Asia
