 INTRODUCCION
 The current era is characterized by the need for up-to-date and reliable information, from which economic agents can
make the decisions that are required in a highly competitive world. In this way, those who have information have
comparative advantages over others.

Colombia could not be the exception, it is necessary that the processes and procedures for foreign trade be simple and
agile, with the objective of provide importers and exporters with the best competitive conditions in national and
international markets.
 Speaking properly of Colombia, the Colombian Institute of Foreign Trade, INCOMEX, works in these two aspects,
handling and making more flexible all the procedures that are within its competence. However, it is essential that users
be given greater illustration in terms of requirements, procedures and conditions of foreign trade, factors that should be
widely known in order to move forward efficiently and with the lowest costs.

of its objectives are:

meet the needs of the consumer.
