Por puertos de la región, se transportó el 56% del comercio exterior regional, en el caso de las importaciones este porcentaje ascendió al 69%, mientras que para las exportaciones fue de 56%. Colombia y Chile fueron los que mayormente usaron sus puertos para sus envió y recepción de su comercio internacional su participación fue de 75% y 73% respectivamente.
Actually, and IMHO, "envió y recepción de (su) comercio internacional" doesn't make too much sense, or something is missing there. Am I right?

for importing and exporting
I think the typo is in fact in "sus". To me it should read:
"...para el envió y recepción de su comercio internacional y su participación fue de 75% y 73% respectivamente.
It sounds more natural to say importing and exporting than "sending and receiving their international trade". Alternatively, you could translate it as "for international trading".
"...para el envió y recepción de su comercio internacional y su participación fue de 75% y 73% respectivamente.

Envíos instead of envió (shipments)
Yes, you are right. It looks like a typo. Instead of envió, which is the preteritum for send (sent), it should say envíos, which is "shipments".
