There is a great depth of experience in the team with issues covering its commercial, industrial and tourism related matters. The team also collaborated with the Ministry of Justice and other industry players to create new regulations regarding the import of ingredients in cosmetics, removing the requirement to register with the Ministry of Justice for certain items, derestricting the market. Additionally, the team has worked with the Colombian Association of Footwear, Leather and Manufactures (ACICAM) to develop new policies to lessen
