South American Free trade

This is the only place I could figure to post this question on the forum - please feel free to send me somewhere else, if there's a better place....;)

I am thinking about setting up manufacturing in Colombia of an electrical product, but to be distributed throughout South America- specifically, initially Colombia, Peru, possibly Bolivia, and Argentina.

My problem now is- all the free trade agreements in place (mercosur, etc.) are confusing as hell. Does anyone know of a site where they have a comprehensive database, or even links to accurate info on the various trade agreements and their impacts on shipping from one country to another? After hours of googling, my head hurts.

I really need to figure out what import duties, if any, will be levied, country by country, of my product, if I decide to proceed. But like everything else about latin america- there seems to be no one definitive authority on the various agreements.

help, please?

If you want his number send me an email to Gaijintuning at hotmail.com. I know he can help you out, but he only speaks spanish so hopefully you speak it well. 0 funny, 0 helpful.
