Columbus Phase I Diagnostic Mission to Colombia
19 to 30 October 2009
In April 2008, the Colombian Customs Administration sent the WCO a Letter of Intent to implement the Organization’s SAFE Framework of Standards. Prior to submitting this letter, Colombian Customs had been progressively working towards modernizing its Administration and implementing many of the Standards found within SAFE.
The Diagnostic Mission was conducted in Bogota and Cartagena (Colombia). Meetings took place with the Customs Directors and staff, the private sector and other ministries.
