Export FAQ
What do I need to export from Guatemala?
You must be registered as an exporter; have a commercial invoice, packing list and transport document; and, depending on the product and destination, certificates of origin, phytosanitary or sanitary certificates or other permits. We prepare the export declaration and coordinate with the bonded warehouse, port or border crossing of exit.
What is the DUCA?
The DUCA (Declaración Única Centroamericana, or Central American Single Customs Declaration) is the electronic form used to declare goods to customs in the region. There are variants by operation: DUCA-D for definitive imports and exports with countries outside Central America, DUCA-F for trade between Central American countries, and DUCA-T for goods in transit. Our team prepares and submits it for you.
