Cotecna Chile obtains Customs certification for inspection and analysis of copper concentrates

Cotecna Chile proudly announces that it has obtained the certification of the National Customs Service of Chile, which officially authorizes us to carry out the technical controls and determinations on copper concentrates required for export. 

This recognition reinforces our position as a reliable player within the country's logistics and mining chain, and ensures that our processes comply with the regulatory standards established by the authority to support operations in the outbound of goods. 

Scope of certification 

Pursuant to Chapter 4 of the Compendium of Customs Regulations, certification allows Cotecna to assist Customs in processes related to the Single Exit Document (DUS) for copper concentrates, including: 

• Determination of wet weight. 
• The calculation of the percentage of moisture. 
• The extraction, preparation and shaping of the composite sample for quality analysis. 
• The performance of analyses for the elements and compounds specified in Table No. 1, numeral 2.18 of Appendix I of Chapter 3, in accordance with the provisions of Article 23 ter of the Customs Ordinance, which identifies the elements that affect the value of the concentrate for its commercialization. 

One more step to strengthen our commitment to the mining industry 

Obtaining this certification allows us to continue supporting the Chilean mining sector in a comprehensive manner, ensuring that each operation meets the highest standards of quality, technical precision and regulatory compliance.
