Guatemala: FAIRS Country Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Guatemala accepts all U.S. official certifications issued for agricultural fresh and processed food products. For processed food products (other than meats), a Certificate of Free Sales is required. If the Certificate of Free Sales is used to register a new product or update an existing registration (every 5 years), the Certificate of Free Sales needs to be signed and sealed at any Guatemalan Consulate or Embassy in the U.S. Guatemala does not allow for re-export of seafood from non-U.S. origin, unless a Guatemalan inspection visit to the exporting facility has occurred.
