La legislación aduanera colombiana y su influencia en el desarrollo del poder naval

Abstract

Colombian customs legislation seeks guidance and preservation of customs rights using economic barriers that aim to protect national production and maintain its regulations that facilitate the country's participation in dynamic international trade. However, Colombian trade policy ignores the needs of the defense sector, especially due to the innervation of concepts such as “maritime awareness”, “maritime power” and “naval power”. Therefore, an analysis of the current customs tariff is presented, revealing an impact on the development of the naval power related to the specific tariff subheadings used in the processes of maintenance of the Naval Force, which are limited the execution of projects of modernization of strategic capabilities of the Colombian Republic Navy. Therefore, the tariff subheadings used regularly in these projects are presented, which are for the exclusive use of naval components and which are currently paying tariffs, even though they do not affect domestic production. Lastly, a proposal for modification based on tariff deferrals will be proposed following the gaps found in the current customs legislation.
