Located in Providencia, Santiago. We serve companies across Chile with air, sea, ground and international courier freight services.
International Cargo Agency in Santiago, Chile
Santiago, as Chile's capital and main economic hub, is the centre from which the vast majority of the country's international trade operations are coordinated. Greater Santiago accounts for more than 70% of national imports and exports, and is the starting point for the distribution of goods throughout Chile. In this context, having a strategically located, trusted international cargo agency in Santiago is fundamental to your company's competitiveness.
FirstCargo has its main offices at Guardia Vieja 255, office 202, Providencia, Santiago, minutes from the city's business centre. From here we coordinate international logistics operations for companies of all sizes: from importing SMEs to large corporations with regular global operations.
Our Santiago location allows us to access Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Pudahuel quickly, coordinate with shipping agencies and transport lines in the Las Condes and Vitacura area, and maintain fluid communication with Chilean Customs at its Metropolitan Regional Directorate. We also work closely with the ports of San Antonio and Valparaíso, which are less than 100 kilometres from Santiago by motorway.
We serve sectors as diverse as technology and IT (equipment imports from Asia), retail and fashion (textile and footwear imports), food (export of Chilean gourmet products), pharmaceuticals (import of raw materials and medical supplies), construction (machinery and materials) and mining (equipment and supplies for large-scale mining operations in the north and south).

Why trust FirstCargo?
In Santiago, dozens of cargo agencies coexist, from branches of large international operators to small brokers. FirstCargo's difference lies in being a Chilean company, with roots in Santiago, that combines in-depth local knowledge with the experience and connections of an international operator.
We know the traffic on Ruta 68 to Valparaíso, the particularities of each regional customs office, the protocols at AMB airport and the customs of the local market. We are neighbours to our clients in both a literal and a metaphorical sense: we understand the challenges of the Chilean entrepreneur and work to be part of the solution. With 30+ years in the market, many of our current clients are companies that have known us since their beginnings and have grown alongside us.
