Chile remains the world's dominant copper exporting nation, and copper Chile exports continue to form the backbone of the country's trade economy. According to verified customs transaction data covering refined copper, unrefined copper, and copper mattes (HS codes 7401–7403), Chile's copper exports in 2025 reached approximately USD 18.47 billion across roughly 4,370 recorded shipments, with a total exported weight of approximately 1.87 billion kilograms. This represents a meaningful recovery following a contraction in 2024, driven by a combination of stabilized production volumes and favorable pricing conditions — the estimated average copper price for 2025 stood at USD 4.25 per pound, up from USD 4.18 per pound in 2024.

Looking at the broader mining export picture, Chile's total mining exports in 2025 hit USD 63.3 billion, with copper concentrates alone accounting for USD 36.28 billion — a year-on-year sector increase of 12.6%. Copper wire exports were separately valued at USD 4.39 billion for the year.
