📋 Tender Overview
The activity included the participation of CITEccal Lima and was held at the facilities of the Andean Community. Last Monday, October 14, Resolution No. 2439 Guidelines for determining the predominant materials of footwear was approved. The Ministry of Production (Produce) through the Technological Institute of Production (ITP) actively participated in a workshop to disseminate guidelines on the testing method to determine the predominant material of footwear.
The event, which included the participation of CITEccal Lima, was held at the facilities of the Andean Community (CAN), bringing together representatives from countries such as: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, as well as various institutions, footwear manufacturers and importers. The methodology, proposed by Peru and reviewed in collaboration with members of the Andean Community during 2023 and 2024, responds to the need to comply with the provisions of Resolution No. 2107, which establishes the Andean Technical Regulation for the Labeling of Footwear, Leather Goods, Travel Items and Similar Items.
This regulation, in its article 11, indicates that the Competent National Authorities must apply guidelines and criteria to determine the predominant material of the footwear. Resolution No. 2439 aims to identify the predominant material when two or more materials are used in each component of the footwear, such as the upper, lining, insole and sole. The information must be included on the labels of the footwear, thus guaranteeing transparency towards the consumer and supervision by the competent authorities.
It is essential that manufacturers, marketers and importers in the countries of the Andean Community apply these guidelines, preventing practices that may mislead about the predominant material of the footwear.
With this initiative, CITEccal Lima reaffirms its commitment to regulatory compliance, providing relevant information to entrepreneurs to facilitate trade without additional limitations, while promoting a favorable environment for commercial exchange.
