Phase 1:

Have customs mandates (power that customers sign and then present to Customs) one general and one per port (for each port that exists in the country).
Mandate “buses”.
Specific mandates for each port (for example: Buenaventura, for each port in Buenaventura a port mandate is required), each one asks for a different one.
Each mandate takes up to 8 work days to be filed by each port, after the signature and authentication of the client.

Phase 2:

To have customs clearance, transportation documents, invoice, packing list, approvals (if required) or licenses. All documents must be original.
The country does not authorize customs clearance without the original documents.
Subsequently, internal processes are given. When the cargo is loaded, it is required to have the manifest of the transport medium (shipping company or airline). The manifest is transmitted to the DIAN and then you can proceed to request selectivity.
Then, some controls are derived that can be automatic, documentary physical inspection, immobilization or inclusion (when cargoes are handled in ports or airports). It is transferred to customs warehouses - where the airline has 48 hours to make the transfer - and then the process mentioned above (controls) is carried out.
