Leaving Chile with lithium power bank
Power banks face no customs export control from Chile. Aviation dangerous-goods rules are the real constraint: spare lithium batteries including power banks are forbidden in checked baggage worldwide and must be carried in the cabin. Units up to 100 Wh (roughly 27,000 mAh) travel freely; 100-160 Wh units need airline approval and are usually limited to two; above 160 Wh is forbidden on passenger aircraft. Terminals should be protected against short circuit.
Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. Servicio Nacional de Aduanas publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://www.aduana.cl/.
