Starter activities in Colombia
These rows prove the country hub works as a useful browse page before the full dataset is researched.
drive without licence
Colombia requires a driving licence to lawfully drive. Ministry of Transport guidance says the licence is the document that authorizes a person to drive, and official ministry guidance cites the traffic-code sanction for driving without having obtained the corresponding licence.
bringing duty free goods
Colombia allows travelers to bring non-commercial personal goods within DIAN’s traveler allowances. Accompanied baggage within the stated traveler allowance can enter without import tax, subject to the value, quantity and traveler-regime rules.
bring electronics without declaring them
Colombia allows travelers to bring personal goods within DIAN traveler allowances, but electronics that fall into the declarable category cannot simply be brought in undeclared. DIAN says omission of a required traveler declaration can lead to seizure and confiscation.

Food and other animal or plant products are not treated as automatically admissible traveler items in Colombia. ICA says products of animal or plant origin may require sanitary or phytosanitary certificates and can be retained, re-exported, confiscated or destroyed if they do not comply.
