Buy from Otto and ship to Colombia
One of Germany's largest online retailers, delivering inside Germany. Get a free German address, order as a local customer would, combine several orders into one shipment, and we forward it to Colombia.
Why Colombians cannot order from Otto directly
Otto delivers inside Germany
Orders from otto.de go to German addresses, and since 2026 to a short list of EU countries. There is no delivery option to Latin America at checkout.
German pricing on a German catalogue
Otto's prices are in euros and its assortment is built for the German market, including labels and ranges that local retail never carries.
Half the catalogue should not fly
A department store sells sofas as readily as shirts. Knowing which half of it is worth forwarding is what keeps this from becoming an expensive lesson.

What Otto is good for, and what you should not put on a plane
Otto is one of the biggest online retailers in Germany and one of the oldest: a department store in the full sense, selling fashion, shoes, home textiles, furniture, appliances, electronics and toys under one roof. Its delivery map is domestic — orders go to German addresses, and since 2026 to a short list of EU countries. Latin America is not on it, which is what a German receiving address solves.
Because Otto sells everything, the useful question is not whether you can order but what is worth flying. Fashion, shoes, home textiles, bed linen, toys and small household goods are light for their value and travel well.
Furniture and large appliances are the opposite: heavy, bulky, and — in the case of anything electrical — built for German mains at 230 V and 50 Hz, which is a problem in most of Latin America. We would rather tell you that here than after you have paid for the freight.
One more practical point. Otto's catalogue mixes its own stock with marketplace sellers, and delivery arrangements differ between the two. Whichever it is, the parcel arrives at your German address the same way, and it waits at our warehouse while you finish the rest of your shopping.
- Fashion, shoes and home textiles — light for their value, and the easiest thing to consolidate
- Bed linen, towels and kitchen textiles — flat, unbreakable, and priced in euros
- Toys and small household goods — good filler for a box that is going anyway
- ⚠️ Furniture and large appliances: heavy, bulky, and rarely worth air freight
- ⚠️ Anything electrical is built for 230 V / 50 Hz — check the rating plate first
What the DIAN actually charges on a parcel to Colombia (2026)
Two numbers decide what a parcel pays in Colombia, and most guides mix them up. The DIAN's own page for tráfico postal y envíos urgentes puts the tributos aduaneros at a 10% customs duty on the FOB value — freight and insurance included — plus 19% IVA. Everything after that is exemptions on top.
On duty, the DIAN states that a shipment whose FOB value is US$200 or less does not pay the customs duty. On IVA there are two separate reliefs, and the first is the one that matters for a European purchase: the DIAN states that these shipments do not pay IVA when they come from countries with a free-trade agreement with Colombia and have no commercial purpose.
Colombia's agreement with the European Union has been in force since 2013 and its agreement with the United States since 2012; it has no such agreement with China or Turkey. Note that what counts is where the goods originate, not where you happened to buy them.
The second relief is temporary: Decreto Legislativo 1474 of 19 December 2025 excludes IVA on shipments worth no more than US$50, and the DIAN has confirmed that this one runs only from 1 January to 31 December 2026. That is what replaced the US$200 IVA figure people still repeat.
What none of this settles is your particular parcel. Whether a shipment counts as non-commercial, and whether its origin is evidenced to the satisfaction of the officer clearing it, is decided at clearance and not before. Read the rules above as the framework, check them against the DIAN page linked below before a large purchase, and be sceptical of anyone who guarantees you an exact final figure.
| Item | What the DIAN states (2026) |
|---|---|
| Customs duty, general rule | 10% of the FOB value, freight and insurance included |
| IVA, general rule | 19% |
| FOB of US$200 or less | Does not pay customs duty |
| Goods originating in an FTA country, no commercial purpose | Do not pay IVA — the EU and the USA have agreements; China and Turkey do not |
| Up to US$50 during 2026 | IVA excluded — Decreto Legislativo 1474/2025, art. 3 |
| The old US$200 IVA figure | Replaced by the US$50 exclusion, and only for 2026 |
Last updated: September 2026. Informational only — not customs or tax advice. The US$50 IVA exclusion is written for the 2026 calendar year, and the relief for shipments from FTA countries depends on the shipment having no commercial purpose and on origin being evidenced at clearance. Confirm with the DIAN before committing to an order. Source: DIAN — Tráfico postal y envíos urgentes.

Thousands of global shoppers trust Resendify
From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
Buying from Otto and shipping to Colombia
No. Otto delivers to German addresses and, since 2026, to a short list of EU countries, so it does not deliver to Colombia. You can still buy there with a receiving address in the store's own country: we take delivery, hold your parcels while you finish shopping, and forward them to you.
No. otto.de delivers to German addresses and, since 2026, to a short list of EU countries. Latin America is not among them, so a German receiving address is what gives you access.
You can, but for most furniture we would advise against air freight: it is heavy and bulky relative to its price, which is the profile that makes international shipping expensive. If you are furnishing a home, ask us about a pallet instead.
Only if its rating plate says so. German appliances are built for 230 V at 50 Hz. Devices with a universal 100–240 V power supply travel fine; anything with a heating element or a motor generally does not.
That is common, and it is not a problem. Each parcel is checked in and photographed, and they wait together until you tell us to ship — combining them into one shipment is what keeps the freight down.
US$200 is still the duty threshold: the DIAN states that a shipment with an FOB value of US$200 or less does not pay the 10% customs duty. What moved is the IVA side — Decreto Legislativo 1474 of December 2025 set the IVA exclusion at US$50, and the DIAN has confirmed it applies only during the 2026 calendar year.
It depends on the values. Consolidating is almost always cheaper on freight, but it raises the FOB value of a single shipment, which is exactly what the US$200 duty threshold looks at. Ask us before you buy and we will price both options so you can compare them.
The DIAN's IVA relief for shipments from FTA countries is written for shipments with no commercial purpose. If you are importing to resell, that is a formal import with its own requirements — talk to us and to a customs agent before ordering, not after the goods are in the air.
