Colombia will eliminate its prohibition on the importation of remanufactured goods upon entry into force of the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement. Colombia will eliminate tariffs on most remanufactured construction equipment immediately and will phase out tariffs on a small number of remanufactured goods over 10 years. Sectors that stand to benefit the most from this provision include construction and agriculture equipment, auto parts, electrical equipment, infrastructure and machinery, and medical and scientific equipment.
