On January 17, 2026, nearly 7,600 tons of fresh fruits arrived at the port of Tianjin, China, in approximately 380 containers. To this arrival, the Dongjiang border inspection center in Tianjin activated a “priority channel” and applied a new inspection model that allows the completion of the declaration and review of all required documents before the vessel arrives at the port, with the aim of ensuring that the fruits reach suppliers and consumers in the freshest possible condition.
According to Trademap data, Chile’s exports to China more than doubled, increasing from USD 16.8 billion in 2015 to USD 37.2 billion in 2024. Regarding the composition of shipments, fresh cherries ranked fourth among the main products exported to China, following certain critical minerals such as copper ores, refined copper, and lithium carbonates.
