GAC Toyota Bozhi 3X, FAW Toyota bZ5 and GAC Toyota Bozhi 7 sedan at Buenaventura

Colombia · Buenaventura

The VIN year and the licence year have to be the same year.

Buenaventura is the Pacific discharge. Cartagena only if your agente de aduanas already clears there. On this file the cars are the GAC Toyota Bozhi 3X, the FAW Toyota bZ5 and the GAC Toyota Bozhi 7 sedan. Ley 769 de 2002 does not open an ordinary initial registration for a used vehicle. Decreto 925 de 2013, article 15, treats a new car as saldo when its model year is earlier than the year you file, or when it was built two or more years before that filing. A 2027 VIN can be reserved now.

01

Match the VIN to the filing year

File a 2027 unit in 2027. Under Decreto 925 de 2013, a prior model year is saldo.

02

Keep the three bodies apart

Bozhi 3X is the tall compact SUV. bZ5 is the low fastback. Bozhi 7 is the long sedan.

03

Sail for Buenaventura

Cartagena only if that corridor is already yours. A battery car is Class 9.

04

Ask for the factory pack after the deposit

Three papers: the factory certificate, the environmental list, and one certificate that is both the China compulsory product certificate and the type-conformity certificate. Every car shipped to Colombia also needs a photo of the under-hood refrigerant label.

Three Toyotas, three lists

Bozhi 3X, bZ5 and Bozhi 7 are quoted on their own VINs. The sedan does not borrow the SUV catalog.

A session that does not homologate

Certified dealers, units from this desk. Beta. It reads the car. DIAN and the homologation stay with your agent.

The year you can still book

2027 production is already open on lines this desk can place, where that factory has opened the year: Xiaomi, Toyota — including the three nameplates on this page — Zeekr, XPeng, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo. Reserving the year is how the VIN on the licence matches the year of the filing. Bozhi 3X is the compact SUV. bZ5 is the hammerhead fastback. Bozhi 7 is the long, low sedan. A sedan described to DIAN as an SUV is how this file goes wrong. We do not print a duty percent.

Pacific first

We plan Buenaventura. Sending an Asia car to Cartagena adds a canal or a relay that this buyer does not need, unless the Caribbean corridor is already how you clear. Say which terminal before the proforma. The truck from Buenaventura up to the interior is yours.

Three China papers, in the names your agent can file

After the advance payment the factory issues three papers. The factory certificate of conformity is the vehicle passport: this VIN left the plant. The vehicle environmental information list is the emissions record of that VIN. The third paper is one document. The China compulsory product certificate and the type-conformity certificate are the same file. It states dimensions, mass and powertrain, M1 under GB/T 15089-2016, which is how the Bozhi 7 stays a sedan. Every car shipped to Colombia needs a photo of the refrigerant label in the front compartment, on the underside of the hood. Colombian dealers are the only ones who require it. The label states the refrigerant, the fill mass and the oil. A unit already photographed reads R-134a, 850±15 g, POE, QC/T 659, SAE J639. Shoot that label on the VIN that is leaving. Other markets do not ask for this photo. Invoice, packing list and bill of lading sit with that pack.

What Colombia asks for next

Those three papers are the China side. They are not the Colombian acts. Your agente de aduanas files the registro or licencia de importación through VUCE, and the visto bueno. The emissions certificate the importer is asked to obtain is the CEPD, Certificado de Emisiones por Prueba Dinámica, under Resolución 762 de 2022, through ANLA. The VIN on that request has to match the factory list, character for character. Homologación at the Ministerio de Transporte comes before the initial registration in RUNT. We sit with your agent before a container number exists. We do not file with DIAN, and we do not issue the CEPD.

After the release

CarParts will not quote a 3X lamp for a Bozhi 7. The key is the VIN on the declaration. CarLive is a beta session on the China network for certified dealers, on units bought through this desk, including when the local portal will not open the export ECU. It does not homologate the car.

B2B orientation. Decreto 925 de 2013 and Ley 769 de 2002 are applied by your agent to the unit in front of them. DIAN, ANLA and homologation practice change. Not Colombian legal advice. Your agente de aduanas files. The Bozhi 7 is a sedan. We do not print a duty percent.
