Colombia: New customs regime proposed
The bill aims to update sanctions, procedures, and guarantees for foreign trade operators.
Proposed legislation (Bill 312 of 2025) introduces changes to the customs regime.
The bill aims to update sanctions, procedures, and guarantees for foreign trade operators. It suggests using artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies in identifying suspicious transactions. However, concerns remain about ambiguous definitions of infractions and increased sanctioning powers for DIAN (National Tax and Customs Directorate).
The bill's technical complexity and economic impact indicate a lengthy legislative process.
