Health Permit Data Migration to InvimÁgil: acting today can help prevent future delays

Keeping your health permits ready for future regulatory procedures is part of proactive regulatory management. At SPI Americas, we highly recommend that our companies in the food and cosmetics sector with registered products in Colombia initiate Health Permit Data Migration to InvimÁgil, even if they do not currently anticipate submitting an application that requires it.

This recommendation is particularly relevant in light of information communicated to us by INVIMA: Health Permit Data Migration, which typically took approximately 15 days, will now take 30 to 45 days.

Why do we recommend acting now?

Currently, only certain regulatory procedures require health permit data to have been migrated beforehand. However, if the need to undertake one of these procedures arises, the time required to complete Health Permit Data Migration could delay the submission.

This is compounded by the pace at which INVIMA has been implementing changes to its procedures and the short notice provided for some of these changes. Therefore, waiting until a specific need arises may leave limited time to act.

Our recommendation is to plan ahead. Even if no immediate submission is pending, initiating Health Permit Data Migration now can help you prepare for future regulatory procedures and the changes INVIMA will continue to implement as part of its modernization and digitalization efforts.

At SPI Americas, we can assist you in reviewing your portfolio, identifying health permits with pending data migration, and managing the corresponding requests.
