Chile, located in western South America, was the first Latin American country to join the ATA Carnet system in 2008.  Divided into 16 regions its geography stretches along a narrow strip of land between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.  Chile also controls several islands as its territories including the remote Easter Island, which draws people the world over to its volcanic terrain with 900 monumental carved statues of human figures with oversized heads, half buried, that mysteriously peer out into the distance.

Chile possesses beautifully lush and rugged terrain so unique and visually stunning it is a top destination for the Film and TV Production industry.  Major releases, for example, Quantum of Solace-the 22^nd James Bond film, The Motorcycle Diaries, Spy Kids, and Gun Shy were all filmed in Chile.  Locations that were used included the city of Antofagasta, the arid Atacama desert, the tropical North, moderate Center, cooler South regions, the capitol city of Santiago, and along the vast 4,000 miles of coastline. 

Trade thrives in Chile and there are opportunities for U.S. companies to expand there.  U.S. goods exports to Chile in 2022 were $22.3 billion, and U.S. exports of services to Chile were an estimated $6.7 billion in 2022.  The agriculture sector leads U.S. goods exports, while services exports from the U.S. to Chile were in the transportation, travel, and professional and management services sectors.

The U.S. and Chile have a long history of strong cooperation on science and technology, including on shared priorities including clean energy; environmental protection; astronomy; climate science; health; and emerging technologies, such as 5G and artificial intelligence.
