US Tariffs on Imports from Colombia

Colombia benefits from the US-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA), which eliminates tariffs on most qualifying goods. The 10% Section 122 tariff applies only to non-TPA-covered products, making Colombia one of the most cost-effective sourcing origins in the Americas.

The US-Colombia TPA has been in effect since 2012 and provides duty-free access for the vast majority of Colombian exports to the US. Annual bilateral goods trade is approximately $35B. Colombia is also a US partner under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for eligible products not covered by the TPA.

Key Products Imported from Colombia

Top imports from Colombia include crude oil and petroleum products, coffee, cut flowers, gold, coal, bananas, and apparel. Colombia is the largest supplier of cut flowers to the US and a leading source of arabica coffee.

Recent Changes

Feb 20, 2026: SCOTUS struck down IEEPA tariffs; Section 122 at 10% applies only to non-TPA goods (expires ~July 24, 2026). The TPA continues to eliminate duties on the vast majority of Colombian exports. Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs of 50% remain. The TPA itself is stable with no renegotiation planned.

Tips for Importers

Leverage the US-Colombia TPA for duty-free treatment — ensure you have proper certificates of origin. Colombian cut flowers enter at 0% under the TPA, maintaining Colombia's 80% US market share. Coffee enters duty-free regardless of trade agreements. With Section 122 set to expire ~July 2026, TPA qualification provides long-term tariff certainty that non-FTA countries cannot match.
