The following items may be taken into Colombia by travellers 18 years of age and older without incurring customs duty:
• 200 cigarettes and 50 cigars and up to 250g of tobacco.
• 2 bottles of alcoholic beverages.
• Goods for personal use to the value of US$2,000 (minors: US$1,000).
Prohibited Imports
Ammunition and firearms (unless prior authorisation has been obtained), vegetables, plants or plant material, and meat and animal food products.
Prohibited Exports
Taking cultural artefacts out of the country is prohibited, so if tour guides offer to sell you goods from tombs, politely decline. Colombian coffee is not prohibited, but will most likely be opened and checked. Drugs are absolutely forbidden, with harsh penalties for non-compliance.
