Colombia customs when buying from China with an agent (2026)

How taxes work on a parcel from China arriving in Colombia (postal and express shipments), as of October 2026. The 2026 rules come from economic measures that may change: check with DIAN.

• Up to USD 50: no VAT, no duty.
• USD 50–200: 19% VAT, no duty (in 2026 the VAT exclusion only covers up to USD 50).
• Over USD 200: duty (usually 10%) plus 19% VAT.

DIAN can detain goods that infringe a registered trademark. Declare the real value: undervaluing is illegal.
