Guatemala Customs Data is built on import declaration records published by the Guatemalan customs authority, covering trade intelligence on goods entering Guatemala. It provides the importer's local-language (Spanish) name with company code, exporter identification (this sample: a US supplier), full-length Spanish tariff descriptions (TiO₂ pigment wording preserved verbatim), lot-level commercial descriptions (QTY 50 COLORANTES PARA FLORES-CHRISTMAS RED... LOT #AM7441), and channel-level port fields (EA-ADUANA EXPRESS AEREO air-express lane). Below is a complete breakdown of the data field system, illustrated with a sample record (Guatemala import, August 2026).

📜 Verbatim Spanish Tariff Text
The tariff description keeps the complete Spanish legal wording ("Pigmentos y preparaciones a base de dioxido de titanio, con un contenido de dioxido de titanio < 80%...") — exact-match searching against the tariff schedule, not a lossy English summary.
📦 Lot-Level Commercial Descriptions
Goods descriptions go down to order level: "QTY 50 COLORANTES PARA FLORES-CHRISTMAS RED 2506 2* 25.00 LB PAILS, LOT #AM7441" — quantity, packaging (25-lb pails) and production lot in one string. SKU- and batch-grade traceability.
✈️ Channel-Level Port Fields
The port field distinguishes clearance channels — this sample uses EA-ADUANA EXPRESS AEREO (air-express customs lane), separate from sea/land port entries. Express-courier flows are directly segmentable.
🎯 Seasonal Trade Signals
The lot description names Christmas-red colorant (FLORES-CHRISTMAS RED) — seasonal product flows (holiday decoration manufacturing inputs) are visible months ahead of retail, a timing edge for suppliers.

💡 Data Value Highlight
Guatemala Customs Data preserves what others trim — full Spanish tariff wording, lot numbers, package counts — and distinguishes clearance channels (air-express vs port). Ideal for Central-American buyer development, seasonal-goods timing and express-courier flow analysis.
Q1: What is Guatemala Customs Data?
Guatemala Customs Data covers import/export trade records for Guatemala (GT). Each record contains the importer (Spanish name + company code), exporter (with country), full Spanish tariff descriptions, lot-level commercial goods text, and channel-level logistics (air-express vs port lanes, trade type). The sample record shown is an August 2026 import of titanium-dioxide-based pigments (HS 3206190000) by DISTRIBUIDORA FRATTI SOCIEDAD ANONIMA from ROBERT KOCH INDUSTRIES INC of the United States, cleared via the EA-ADUANA EXPRESS AEREO air-express channel.
Q2: What makes Guatemala data unique?
Four core differentiators:
1. Verbatim Spanish tariff text — the full legal description is preserved, not summarized.
2. Lot-level goods descriptions — quantity, pail size and LOT #AM7441 in one field.
3. Channel-level port field — EA-ADUANA EXPRESS AEREO separates air-express from conventional cargo.
4. Seasonal product visibility — Christmas-production inputs show up months before retail season.
Q3: How frequently is the data updated?
Updated monthly with full historical backfill. The sample record is month 202608.
Q4: How do I read the importer fields?
- Importer: DISTRIBUIDORA FRATTI SOCIEDAD ANONIMA — "Sociedad Anónima" (S.A.) is the standard Guatemalan corporation form; "Distribuidora" signals a wholesale/distribution business model.
- Company Code (3139239): the registry identifier — use it for exact-match searches in the Guatemalan mercantile registry and SAT (tax authority) records.
- A distributor buying US pigment for resale suggests the real end-users are local manufacturers (flower/decoration producers) — worth mapping downstream.
Q5: How should I use the lot-level goods description?
The detailed name field reads: "QTY 50 COLORANTES PARA FLORES-CHRISTMAS RED 2506 2* 25.00 LB PAILS, LOT #AM7441". Decode it:
- QTY 50: 50 units per order line
- 2 × 25.00 LB PAILS: two 25-pound pails per unit — packaging format
- CHRISTMAS RED 2506: shade code — seasonal colorant for artificial flowers
- LOT #AM7441: production batch — traceable quality/consistency signal
This lets you track a competitor's exact SKU flow, not just an HS line.
Q6: What product is HS code 3206190000?
HS 3206190000 covers pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, with TiO₂ content < 80% by weight (dry matter) — the Spanish wording is preserved in the record: "Pigmentos y preparaciones a base de dioxido de titanio, con un contenido de dioxido de titanio < 80% en peso...". These are colorant preparations (as here: red pigment for artificial flowers) rather than raw TiO₂ white pigment. Industry: Chemicals; Sub-industry: Other Chemicals. The <80% threshold matters for duty classification vs pure-pigment lines.
Q7: What does the port field "EA-ADUANA EXPRESS AEREO" tell me?
It identifies the clearance channel: an air-express customs lane (courier/express consignments), distinct from conventional airport or seaport entries. Combined with trade type ID (definitive import), this record is a courier-cleared definitive import — typical for high-value, time-sensitive chemical lots from the US. Segment analysis: express-lane flows skew to smaller lots, faster replenishment cycles and premium goods.
Q9: How do I develop Guatemalan buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter by HS chapter (this sample: 3206 — coloring matter) and month.
2. Extract importer + company code (DISTRIBUIDORA FRATTI SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, 3139239).
3. Read the lot descriptions to learn exact SKUs, pack formats (2 × 25 lb pails) and shades they buy.
4. Pitch in Spanish with SKU-level specificity — mention their Christmas-red seasonal cycle and offer pre-season stock.
Q10: How do I analyze seasonal demand?
Steps:
1. Search goods descriptions for seasonal keywords (FLORES-CHRISTMAS, NAVIDAD, etc.).
2. Plot import months for those lots — order lead times become visible (inputs arriving well before retail).
3. Compare year-over-year seasonal volume to size the holiday-production economy.
4. Time your own offers to the import curve, not the retail curve.
Q11: How do I segment express-courier flows?
Steps:
1. Filter port = EA-ADUANA EXPRESS AEREO (and similar channel codes).
2. Profile the segment: origin countries (US-heavy), lot sizes, product categories.
3. Compare against conventional-port flows for the same HS code to see channel economics.
4. Use the pattern to design your own fulfillment (courier for samples/small lots, FCL for volume).
Q12: How do I analyze Guatemala's import structure?
Analytical dimensions:
1. Channel: express-lane (EA-ADUANA EXPRESS AEREO) vs conventional ports per HS chapter.
2. Origin: US proximity dominance (this sample: United States origin + supplier, North America zone).
3. Buyer type: distributors vs direct manufacturers by name pattern and repeat behavior.
4. Product: tariff-text keyword mining (TiO₂ content thresholds, shade codes, lot numbers).
Q13: How do I spot hot products and assess risk?
Hot products: rank import frequency by HS code; flag YoY growth > 20%; colorant preparations (this sample's category) track Guatemala's artificial-flower and decoration manufacturing cycle.
Risk framework:
1. Seasonality risk — Christmas-linked demand is concentrated; mis-timed stock becomes dead inventory.
2. Supplier concentration — single-US-supplier dependence (ROBERT KOCH INDUSTRIES INC-type records) exposes buyers to US pricing and logistics shocks.
3. Data-quality risk — some records lack price blocks; rely on frequency and description analytics where values are missing.
