Colombia: Update Sodium Regulation Compliance with Mandatory Third Party Certifications in Colombia

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CO2023-0017

Starting July 13, 2023, a third-party certification issued by accredited certifying bodies will be mandatory to certify maximum sodium levels in processed products listed in Colombian Resolution 2013 of 2020. Since Resolution 2013 came into force in November 2022, listed processed products such as cheese, sauces, sausages, and ham were subject to a supplier's self-declaration in order to be admitted to Colombia. The purpose of this report is to help guide U.S. exporters of how to work with accredited certifying bodies to issue third-party certificates on sodium, the services they render, and prices.
