The United States Raises Tariffs Against Colombia on Energy and Metals

U.S. authorities have confirmed an increase in tariffs applied to Colombian products under a “reciprocal” tariff regime. The 10% base rate, established by presidential decree, remains in force pending the publication of adjustments by product category. In response to this measure and the deterioration of diplomatic dialogue, the Colombian government has recalled its ambassador to Washington. No details have been released at this stage regarding specific tariff lines that may target the energy or metallurgical sectors.
