Advantages of being an International Marketer
For a country like Colombia, the marketing of products abroad can become a determining factor of economic development and those called to carry out this task are the INTERNATIONAL MARKETING COMPANIES, which is a legal entity with the commitment to the marketing and sale of Colombian products. To the exterior, acquired in the domestic market or manufactured by their partner producers.
La importancia de las COMERCIALIZADORAS INTERNACIONALES hoy en Colombia radica esencialmente en la gestión que realizan en el sector exportador, ya que brindan la posibilidad de agrupar a varios proveedores de un mismo sector, de esta forma les permite investigar el mercado, encontrar nuevas oportunidades de negocio, asesorar sobre el producto idoneidad, exportar al por mayor en mercados exigentes y determinados, con el fin de promover las exportaciones, en beneficio del desarrollo económico y social del país.
National legislation has contemplated this figure since Law 67 of 1979, as an important instrument of support and promotion of exports. Currently, companies registered as international marketers enjoy some tax benefits, such as exemption from VAT sales tax, the exemption of withholdings at source on payments or account credits for the acquisition of merchandise or goods destined for export and access to the Vallejo Plan Special Import and Export Systems, as well as certain customs benefits due to rules of origin and production national.
Currently we understand that the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism has denied some cases of registration of international marketing companies with 100% foreign capital, arguing that Decree 093 of 2003, by establishing that only “national or mixed companies” qualify, It would be excluding national companies with foreign capital greater than 49%. In this regard, we must note that the previous legal criterion is not clear and for this reason, great concern has been generated within the exporting union, which sees the possibility of establishing and registering new companies with foreign capital as international marketers limited.
