Requirements to Move Dog from USA to Colombia (Bogotá)

Hi all! I am considering moving to Pereira with my dog. I was hoping someone could clarify the requirements as well as offer some advice on my unique situation.
Here is what I believe are the requirements to arrive in country with:

-International Health Certificate (form Protected content , certifying all vaccines are up to date) within 10 days of departure

-USDA endorsement of rabies certificate, microchip record, and international health certificate within 3 days of shipping date

-Appropriate size crate

-Copies of rabies certificate and current vaccination records

My dog is a boxer mixed breed and about 50 lbs. I was considering using a pet relocation company because she is somewhat related to some of the dogs considered to be banned breeds. I have I think if I could pay $ Protected content might for peace of mind.

Here are the requirements I have read inconsistently and I am uncertain if they are needed:
- Microchip

-Power of attorney for customs clearance (this may have been specific to the one pet relocation company who said they'd have an agent on the ground in Bogota to assist)

Thank you!
