Before you ship to Guatemala

Tax-free limit
There is no general duty-free threshold for courier parcels, so duty and IVA can apply from the first quetzal. The main exception for families: a small family shipment with no commercial character, sent by relatives abroad and worth up to US$500 (about GTQ 3,820) in customs value, is free of duty and taxes once every six months per receiver.
Receiver ID
NIT (Número de Identificación Tributaria) or DPI number (CUI) needed. The courier pays the duty and IVA at clearance and bills them to the receiver on an electronic invoice (FEL), so it will ask for the receiver's NIT or DPI number. Foreign receivers without a NIT should ask the courier which ID it accepts before the box ships.
Transit
2-5 business days from North America; 4-7 from Europe; 5-8 from Asia
