Duty-free US goods under CAFTA-DR and the phase-out's end
- Importing machinery and inputs
- Importing machinery: duty and clearance
- not audited
According to Trade.gov, some 5,263 of 6,307 HS codes for industrial and consumer goods originating in the United States already enter Guatemala duty-free under CAFTA-DR; the remaining 1,044 codes follow a scheduled phase-out that completes in 2026. For machinery of US origin, therefore, the preferential tariff is in practice zero or close to zero.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
