REGULATIONS.-Goods coming from such of the former Spanish colonies as are now independent States, whether in national or foreign vessels, pay no more duties than if from Europe or the United States, provided they be of the growth and manufacture of the aforesaid former colonies: other goods are considered as coming from colonies, and do not enjoy the difference of duties on articles from Europe or the United States, unless by treaty it be otherwise determined. Merchants must either pay the duties of importation immediately, or find two good sureties; in which latter case, three and six months are granted for payment in moieties. If the payment be anticipated, one half per cent. per month is allowed; but if the indulgence be accepted, 1 per cent. per month must be paid.

The repayment of the duties to be made on the day of the sailing of the vessel, of which eight days' notice must be given, 24 per cent. being reserved for the benefit of the State. These articles, imported with the intention of being exported, cannot be disposed of in Colombia without special permission.
