Guatemala: FAIRS Export Certificate Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Section II. Purpose of Specific Export Certificate(s) has been updated. In 2013, the Food Control office of the Guatemalan Ministry of Health started requiring the "consularization" (stamping and signature verification at Guatemalan Embassies in the United States) for Certificates of Free Sales for processed food product registration or renewal of existing registries. As of March 2015, Guatemala's Ministry of Health eliminated the "consularization" requirement, per CAFTA-DR's provision that prohibits consular transactions on commercial paperwork.
