  1. The Case for Colombia Giving American Products a Fair Shake

  2. The Case for Colombia But this bottle of Pepsi, made in the USA, pays a stiff 20% tax when sold in Colombia. Colombian Coffee comes into the United States duty free…

  3. The Case for Colombia But this box of U.S.-made fertilizer, which helps those flowers grow, is charged up to 15% when exported to Colombia. These beautiful Colombian flowers – a major Colombian export – come into our market and pay zero tariffs…

  4. The Case for Colombia This onion comes into the United States – and onto your dinner table – without paying any U.S. tariffs. But this tractor, made by Caterpillar in East Peoria, Illinois, faces a 10 percent duty when sold to a Colombian onion farmer.

  5. The Case for Colombia This Pennsylvania apple pays a 15 percent tariff when sold in Colombia… Meanwhile, this Colombian banana enters the United States duty-free. 

  6. The Case for Colombia Even the paper bag containing my examples is subject to a major tariff when sold in Colombia. I’ll bet you’re thinking this isn’t fair. The good news is that in our shopping bag we also have a great coupon that will eliminate all of these taxes on our products, in most cases immediately. 

  7. The Case for Colombia This coupon isn’t from the Sunday paper…it’s called the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement, and it deserves a vote in the Congress of the United States. COUPON U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement * In order to redeem the value of this coupon, Congress must approve the U.S – Colombia FTA
