International Express Courier with Worldwide Reach
Fast delivery of documents and packages from Chile to 150+ countries. Integration with the world's leading courier operators and customs clearance included.
International Express Courier to and from Chile
When your shipment is urgent and cannot wait, international courier is the solution. FirstCargo manages express courier shipments for companies and institutions that need to move critical documents, commercial samples, spare parts, electronic equipment and any type of urgent parcels from Chile to anywhere on the planet, or in the reverse direction.
We work alongside the leading international courier operators in Chile: DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, TNT (now FedEx) and other regional operators. This allows us to offer the most appropriate service based on destination, weight, volume and urgency of your shipment, always at the best price and with the maximum traceability available in the market.
One of the biggest challenges of international courier to and from Chile is customs management. Many shipments are held in customs due to incomplete documentation, incorrect valuation or erroneous tariff classification. At FirstCargo we have a team specialised in courier customs clearance who knows the VAT and tariff-exempt thresholds, the SAG requirements for samples of animal or plant origin, and Chilean Customs protocols for express shipments (fast track channel).
We serve e-commerce companies importing products for resale, laboratories receiving biological samples, law firms sending original legal documents and exporters of Chilean artisan crafts or gourmet products overseas. Courier is also the perfect solution for participants in international fairs who need to send samples and commercial materials with guaranteed return.

Why trust FirstCargo?
In the Chilean international courier market, the difference lies not just in delivery speed — which fundamentally depends on the global carriers — but in customs management and pre-shipment advice. An error in the cargo description or declared value can mean your package is held in customs for days or weeks, ruining the urgency of the shipment.
At FirstCargo we have processed tens of thousands of courier shipments and we know the most common mistakes and how to avoid them. Our relationship with Chilean Customs and our experience in the express channel allows us to resolve incidents in minutes, not days. For companies with regular courier volumes, we offer corporate programmes that include credit accounts, monthly reporting and a dedicated account executive.
