The Government Of Columbia Extended The Import Duty On Clothing For Two Years.

< p > to protect "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_f.asp > Columbia's clothing > /a > industry from unfair competition, the Columbia government announced that it would extend the import tax law for two years.

< /p >

< p > in the management dialogue of the Ministry of Commerce, President Santos announced that the import duties implemented under Decree No. 074 will continue.

< /p >

< p > Tariff Act No. 074 has been implemented since March 1, 2013. It has imposed a unified tariff of $5 / kg for all textiles and clothing imported to the country and reduced the import tax from 15% to 10%.

< /p >

< p > President Santos said that the new tariff had protected the domestic garment industry from unfair competition a year ago.

This tariff has a positive impact on garment production.

< /p >

President Santos said that the government hopes to continue this measure, which will not affect the import of real prices, but will harm those imported artificially at low prices or smuggled.

< /p >

< p > Columbia Vice Minister of enterprise development introduced the extension of import tax measures to protect the local clothing industry.

The clothing limit will be $10 / kg, and less than the value of all garments will continue to pay the current 10% mixed duty plus $5 / kg.

Those that cost more than 10 dollars will pay 10% customs duties plus 5 US dollars / kg.

In the past, all garments were subject to a unified tax and not allowed to import some products which were not produced in Columbia, because they could not be obtained at competitive prices.

< /p >

The new measure, < p > a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_z.asp" > Columbia < /a >, will allow imports of products that conform to the official trade tariff level of the world trade organization, such as effective tariffs should not exceed 40%.

< /p >

< p > the Mexico government has again postponed the reduction of the 94 most favored nation tariffs on textiles, clothing and footwear, including 73 garments, 7 kinds of textiles and 14 kinds of shoes. The original plan was to reduce tariffs on these products in January 1, 2013, namely, the tariff rate of textiles and clothing decreased from 25% to 20%, and the footwear duty rate dropped from 30% to 20%.

However, the Mexico government has been dragging its feet on it, and the time for its implementation has been postponed to January 1, 2015.
