International Commerce And Imports

The establishment of a Chilean entity was an orderly evolution, and was handled in a knowledgeable and intelligent manner. When issues regarding employment law in Chile surfaced, HGG was ready and able to guide us through the “mine fields” of having independent contractors versus employees. We have been impressed by the availability and thoughtfulness of the staff – we were never “put on hold.” Without reservation, I can recommend HGG to represent the legal and business interests of any U.S. company about to enter the Chilean marketplace.

HGG has advised the company throughout its import and export processes, ensuring that the movement of equipment between Chile and Australia is efficient, compliant, and strategically aligned with business goals. In addition, HGG reviewed commercial agreements with third parties involved in the purchase of the machinery, securing the company’s interests at each stage of the transaction.

Benefits

With HGG’s support, the company has strengthened its Chilean operations while maintaining a seamless flow of international trade. Our involvement has minimized tax and regulatory risks, facilitated the efficient import of critical equipment, and reinforced the company’s position as a global leader in mining components.
