Moving to Colombia from the US
Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena have become magnets for Americans chasing a lower cost of living and a genuinely different pace of life. The catch: Colombian customs takes inventory accuracy seriously, and a single mistake can turn a straightforward move into a costly delay.
Average Shipping Cost
- Groupage / LCL: Typically $2,200-$3,800 for a one- to two-bedroom load, 1-2 weeks from East Coast or Gulf ports.
- Full container, 20ft: Usually $4,000-$6,500 for a full household.
- Air freight (urgent items): $7-$11/kg, useful for items you need before the sea shipment lands.
