Customs regulations
now in force in Colombia as per decree 2685 and Muisca
regulations
The Customs Authorities now stipulate that:
A) All cargo on board a vessel, with destination
Colombia must be manifested.
B) The manifest
(cargo/freight) together with freighted copies of Bills of
Lading must be given to Customs Authorities before vessel's
arrival.
C) Cargo
not covered by manifest may not be discharged. If discharged
ITwill be immediately confiscated by Customs. |
|
Violations of the
aforementioned regulations can result in fines of up to 100
per cent. of the cargo value as determined by Customs
Authorities. Similar fines will be levied for discrepancies
found in the cargo manifest as well as for short-landed or
overlanded cargoes, in cases where fault lies with the Carrier
and no reasonable explanation is provided. When the
cargo/freight manifest does not comply with all the
requirements (as established by Customs Authorities) the
carrier will be fined the equivalent of 20 minimum wages
(about USD 3,000.00 as of July
1992). | |
