Colombia Tariff Rates 2026: 12.5% on US Imports
As of 2026-09-14, US imports from Colombia carry an effective tariff of about 12.5%. This combines the 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor baseline (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026) applied to countries without a separate deal, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. Goods qualifying under the US-Colombia TPA may enter with reduced or zero base duty, though the forced-labor tariff still applies. The 10% Section 122 tariff (effective Feb 24, 2026) expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026 and was replaced the same day by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10%, or 12.5% for higher-tier economies).

Paid IEEPA duty on imports from Colombia in 2025–early 2026?
The Supreme Court struck down IEEPA reciprocal (and fentanyl/trafficking) tariffs on February 20, 2026. The Importer of Record — or the licensed broker who filed the original entries — can seek that IEEPA layer back through CBP’s CAPE process. This is not a consumer check, and it is not a guaranteed amount.
- Who can file: the original Importer of Record (or that entry’s filing broker), not the retail customer.
- Window: IEEPA duties collected from early 2025 through February 24, 2026 (reciprocal rates generally from April 2025; China/Canada/Mexico fentanyl layers started earlier).
- Not refundable: Section 232 (steel/aluminum/autos), China Section 301, MFN base duty, or the current Section 301 forced-labor tariff / EU 15% deal rate.
Illustrative example only: $50,000 of IEEPA-period imports from Colombia at the published 10% IEEPA rate carried about $5,000 of IEEPA duty. That IEEPA layer — plus statutory interest (6–7% compounded daily under 19 CFR 24.36) — is what CAPE can refund. Your actual figure comes from your 7501s, not this example.

Colombia Import Tariff Overview
Colombia benefits from the US-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (TPA), which eliminates tariffs on most qualifying goods. The 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor tariff (which replaced Section 122 on July 24, 2026) 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; The Section 301 forced-labor tariff (12.5% for Colombia, replacing the expired 10% Section 122 baseline on July 24, 2026) applies only to non-TPA goods. The TPA continues to eliminate duties on the vast majority of Colombian exports. Section 232 metals tariffs apply at 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring). 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 now expired and replaced by the 12.5% forced-labor tariff (July 24, 2026), TPA qualification provides long-term tariff certainty that non-FTA countries cannot match.
How Are US Tariffs on Colombia Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Colombia are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the 12.5% Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced the expired 10% Section 122 tariff on July 24, 2026 and applies to most countries without a separate trade deal. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the forced-labor tariff. Colombia benefits from the US-Colombia TPA, which can eliminate MFN base duties on qualifying goods — though the forced-labor tariff still applies on top of FTA preferences.
To calculate the total duty on a specific import from Colombia, use our US import duty calculator or landed cost calculator for a complete estimate including Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) and Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF).
