Guatemalan Customs, Tax & Duty

While you fill in the shipping form, we ask you to give us information on the things you’re sending so that we can provide you with a perfect shipping experience. Some products are prohibited from exporting out of the United States, while others require extra steps to ensure that the cargo can be handled. Here are some rules on things to be aware of:

Alcohol & Tobacco

Alcohol and tobacco products are not accepted for shipping by the carriers.

Counterfeit, Bootlegged or Pirated Items

The US government protects company brands and their products by making it illegal to sell, trade, or ship counterfeit or otherwise infringing knockoff items.

Electronics

Plug-in-powered consumer electronics are generally acceptable for shipping. Yet, you must ensure the product does not contain lithium-ion or lithium metal batteries as those are restricted from individuals tendering in shipments to the carriers. Sometimes, the carrier retail location may have specialized packaging for purchase that will allow the shipping of one or two electronic devices that contain lithium-ion or lithium metal batteries within the equipment.

Gambling Materials & Items

Products used in the gambling and betting industry are not acceptable for export through our service.

For the whole list, please check out the Restricted & Prohibited Items page to see if any of your items qualify.
