Industrial goods represented almost 78 percent of total U.S. exports to Colombia in 2006, totaling $4.9 billion. U.S. industrial exports to Colombia are greatest in the information technology, chemicals, infrastructure and machinery, and construction equipment sectors. Colombian tariffs on industrial products range from zero to 35 percent, with an average of approximately 10.4 percent. The highest tariffs on industrial goods apply to motor vehicles. Many products in these key U.S. export sectors will gain immediate duty-free access to Colombia as a result of the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement.
