FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines air freight transit time from the USA to Guatemala?

Transit time depends on the departure gateway, the carrier’s schedule and frequency on the lane, the commodity, and how quickly clearance is completed on arrival. We quote the transit for your specific shipment rather than a generic figure.

Air freight is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, plus origin handling, security screening, and destination charges. Duties and taxes are assessed separately by the authorities. We quote the all-in cost for your shipment before booking.

Clearance is handled by SAT. The consignee needs importer registration with the SAT tax authority. Guatemala virtually prohibits high-powered weapons, bans pseudoephedrine products, and requires pesticides to be registered with MAGA Plant Health; the controls are summarised in the trade.gov Country Commercial Guide.

We route through Guatemala City (GUA), Flores (FRS), Antigua Guatemala (GUA), with onward delivery beyond the gateway.

Standards are set by the Ministry of Economy’s National Quality System and COGUANOR standards have been voluntary since December 2005; imported goods face the same standards as local goods, while health products and processed foods need Ministry of Health registration.

Goods are assessed under CAFTA-DR, under which qualifying US-origin goods enter duty free once rules of origin are met.

Commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill, CAFTA-DR certification of origin to claim preference, sanitary or phytosanitary certificates where required, and the customs import declaration filed with SAT.

Eruptions of the Fuego volcano have closed La Aurora airport because of ash, in June 2018 and again in December 2022, when flights were diverted until the wind cleared the runway (ABS-CBN, eNCA).
