The initiative seeks that shipments from countries with which Colombia does not have a Free Trade Agreement arrive with the VAT tax already paid. This value must already be included in the price of the item .
Some ‘marketplaces’ included in the measure will be Aliexpress, Shopee, Wish, MailAmericas, CNE Express and Sinotrans.
