Article 10, paragraph 4.3  
 
Notification concerning the operation of the single window  
 
Ministry of Finance  https://www.sicexchile.cl  
 Single window for 
foreign trade  
 
The Integrated Foreign Trade System (SICEX) is Chile's single window enabling export and import 
procedures to be conducted in a simple and efficient manner. It was established in 2010 pursuant 
to Supreme Decree No. 1049/2010, with the aim of facilitating foreign trade through the use of a 
world -class system based on best practices and international standards.  
 
SICEX seeks to save time and red uce costs, by expediting export and import procedures that are 
carried out electronically, liaising with the various public services involved in foreign trade and 
eliminating double data entry through a single point for data entry. Efficiency and transpare ncy in 
the management of foreign trade operations are thus achieved through a continuous service platform 
that provides monitoring, alerts and traceability of operations.
