Full Details
Posting perfume to Colombia is customs-permitted but carrier-constrained: fragrance alcohol is a Class 3 dangerous-goods limited quantity, so many national posts refuse or cap air-mail perfume, and couriers require limited-quantity packaging. On the customs side Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN) treats it as an ordinary parcel: an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration is required, import VAT/GST at 19% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Postal and courier shipments up to USD 200 value from countries with a free-trade agreement with Colombia enter duty-free. Above USD 200 (or from non-FTA origins), the 10% Plan Vallejo simplified duty plus 19% VAT applies.
Confirm the carrier accepts perfume before shipping to Colombia — postal refusal is more common than a customs problem. Declare contents accurately on the CN22/CN23; 'gift' mislabelling does not remove import charges and flags the parcel.

Servientrega and 4-72 (Servicios Postales Nacionales) handle postal inbound clearance under DIAN supervision at Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena and Barranquilla. DIAN's courier regime (Tráfico Postal y Envíos Urgentes) covers consignments up to USD 2,000 per shipment with simplified duty (10% flat for personal use, plus 19% IVA); above USD 2,000, formal entry through SYGA (DIAN's customs system) applies. Strictly prohibited postal items: counterfeit branded goods, currency / monetary instruments without declaration, narcotic substances, firearms / ammunition, hazardous materials, anti-state publications. Cash declarations on arriving parcels above USD 10,000-equivalent must be filed via the cross-border movement form.
