Import Tips
• Leverage Guatemala's trade agreements for potential reduced duties; file correct certificates of origin
• Provide irradiation certificates if treated, as some spices require it for pest control
• Avoid 'pepper' generic labeling—specify 'allspice' or 'Pimenta' to prevent confusion with prohibited items
