Mining
Expomin 2027, Latin America’s main mining show, runs April 20–24 at Espacio Riesco in Santiago, Chile. Exhibitors from China ship mining machines, components, and stands, often in flat racks or open tops through San Antonio or Valparaíso and then by truck to Santiago. Chile accepts the ATA carnet for goods that return. Machines sold to a Chilean mine are a normal import. Yihang Shipping already moves mining equipment to Chile, and quotes the exhibit from the dimensions and the move-in date back.
