Machines with incomplete or inconsistent data could be classified as <strong>non-reliable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stage III<\/strong> would move to full technical certification: each MET must hold certification from an accredited Colombian lab or a valid certification from another jurisdiction aligned with Colombia\u2019s MET requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The economic lever is explicit: only machines compliant with the active stage could access a <strong>reduced exploitation fee regime<\/strong>, while non-compliant machines would face <strong>full tariffs<\/strong> under the general framework. For international manufacturers and distributors, the message is simple: Colombia is moving toward a market where performance alone is not enough\u2014machines must be <strong>documentable, certifiable, and homologation-ready<\/strong>.
