4-72 is Colombia's national postal service, responsible for delivering international postal shipments and internal correspondence to individuals and legal entities. It also provides an urgent postal service and carries out EMS shipments. EMS shipping rates with Colombia Post are higher, but allow for speedy delivery.
There are two types of general prohibitions and restrictions that are typical of all postal services: weight/measurement and content. All necessary information can be found on the official Colombia Post website. The permitted types and possible restrictions for the shipment of goods also depend on the country of destination.
What are Colombia Post tracking numbers like?
Postal shipments are grouped into two categories, and the main classification criterion is weight: small parcels are up to 2 kg; shipments are over 2 kg. Small parcels up to 2 kg may not be traceable, but 4-72 always registers EMS shipments and express deliveries and assigns them a tracking number.
The international postal identifier consists of an alphanumeric sequence:
RT123456785CO: small package from Colombia;
CA123456785CO: shipment from Colombia;
EE123456785CO: express shipment from Colombia.
The first letter R indicates that it is a registered small parcel; for shipments, the letter will be C; EMS mail begins with the letter E. The digits ensure that the number is unique. The last letters determine the country of the postal service from which the package was sent.
Tracking of Colombia Post postal packages
Tracking international postal shipments from Colombia can be a very useful tool for controlling their transit. Postal statuses will inform you at which stage the shipment is.
With a "package received" status, the recipient can be sure that it has been sent. After that, Colombia Post shipments in transit go to a distribution center, where they are sorted and directed to the international mail exchange point. The Colombia Post items are then cleared through customs and delivered to the designated postal operator in the destination country. This is known as the "export" tracking stage. Once imported, they go through a similar process in the destination country. The final tracking status indicates that the package has been delivered.
