Appliances Shipping Cost from San Jose to Bogota

Shipping a 50-pound box typically costs between $40 and $130+ for ground services, depending heavily on distance, carrier (FedEx Ground, UPS Ground, or USPS Ground Advantage are common choices), and any discounts, with FedEx often slightly cheaper for heavy items, while USPS can be good for shorter distances. For faster options, expect costs to jump significantly to over $100, sometimes much more.

Key takeaways. Laptops shipped to Colombia are generally subject to 0–5% import duty plus 19% VAT (IVA), making landed costs significantly higher than purchase price. All shipments require detailed documentation, including the importer's NIT tax ID, and may be delayed without a licensed customs broker.
