Chilean exports towards Turkey are concentrated mainly within two sectors (mining and industry), which account for 99.6% of total exports to Turkey. Although the mining sector has clearly been the dominant sector, its importance has been increasing throughout the decade, due to the copper exports to Turkey.

Turkey is the supplier of 0.12% of the imported goods to Chile, registering in 2006 imports of 36.7 million dollars.
