As the United States and Chile FTA
continues into its fifth year, commercial
trade, both in products and services, has
been a resounding success. In 2008,
bilateral trade between the United States
and Chile reached US$20.3 billion, a
216% increase over bilateral trade levels
before the U.S.-Chile FTA took effect.
Even more impressively, U.S. exports to
Chile in 2008 showed a 345% increase
over pre-FTA levels.
Chile remains one of the most stable
and prosperous developing nations,
enjoying a reputation for political
stability, economic freedom, and
comparatively low poverty. Chile
continues to pursue market-oriented
strategies, expand global commercial
ties, and actively participate in
international issues and hemispheric
free trade.
Chile offers a unique opportunity for
U.S. exporters interested in expanding
their businesses in one of the most
open, stable and attractive markets in
Latin America. Reflecting growing trade
relations, Chile’s ranking as a top U.S.
export market rose to 25th in 2008, from
35th place in 2003.

The FTA makes 80 percent of U.S.

eligible for duty-free entry into Peru,
with the remaining tariffs phased-out

enhanced access to services markets and
greater protection of intellectual
property rights. The U.S. International
Trade Commission estimates that the
FTA will boost annual U.S. exports to
Peru by US$1.1 billion.

Mission Statement, Executive Trade Mission to Chile and Peru, June
1-5, 2009.
Mission Description
The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade
Administration, U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service is organizing an
Executive Trade Mission to Santiago, Chile, and Lima Peru, June 1-5,
2009, to be led by Walter Bastian, Deputy Assistant Secretary for the
Western Hemisphere. The mission will focus on helping U.S. companies
launch or increase their export business in these key South American
markets. It will also help participating firms gain market information,
make business and industry contacts, and solidify business strategies,
towards the goal of increasing U.S. exports to these important Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) partners. The mission will include business-to-
business matchmaking appointments with local companies, as well as
market briefings and networking events. The mission will be comprised
of U.S. firms representing a cross section of U.S. industries with
growing potential in the target markets, including, but not limited to
the following sectors: construction, electric power generation, food
processing and packaging, environmental protection, information
technology, mining, oil and gas, safety and security, and
telecommunications.
Commercial Setting
Chile
As the United States and Chile FTA continues into its fifth year,
commercial trade, both in products and services, has been a resounding
success. In 2008, bilateral trade between the United States and Chile
reached US$20.3 billion, a 216% increase over bilateral trade levels
before the U.S.-Chile FTA took effect. Even more impressively, U.S.
exports to Chile in 2008 showed a 345% increase over pre-FTA levels.
Chile remains one of the most stable and prosperous developing
nations, enjoying a reputation for political stability, economic
freedom, and comparatively low poverty. Chile continues to pursue
market-oriented strategies, expand global commercial ties, and actively
participate in international issues and hemispheric free trade.
Chile offers a unique opportunity for U.S. exporters interested in
expanding their businesses in one of the most open, stable and
attractive markets in Latin America. Reflecting growing trade
relations, Chile's ranking as a top U.S. export market rose to 25th in
2008, from 35th place in 2003.
Peru
Peru represents an expanding market for U.S. goods and services. In
response to eased market access conditions, U.S. exports to Peru have
doubled over four years, reaching an estimated US$6 billion in 2008.
This trend should be reinforced as a result of the U.S. Peru Trade
Promotion Agreement (referred to as the U.S.-Peru Free Trade Agreement,
or FTA), which entered into force February 1, 2009, leveling the
playing

field for U.S. companies seeking access to the Peruvian market.
The FTA makes 80 percent of U.S. consumer and industrial products
eligible for duty-free entry into Peru, with the remaining tariffs
phased-out over ten years. It also specifies enhanced access to
services markets and greater protection of intellectual property
rights. The U.S. International Trade Commission estimates that the FTA
will boost annual U.S. exports to Peru by US$1.1 billion.
Peru has achieved some of the highest economic growth rates in
Latin America, averaging above five percent annually during the past
seven years. The United States, Peru's leading trading partner,
purchased 20 percent of Peru's exports and supplied 21 percent of the
country's imports in 2008. Bilateral trade has tripled over the past
decade, exceeding US$12 billion in 2008, with Peru the 40th largest
