Santo Tomas de Castilla, and the road to the capital
Our Guatemala lane runs to Santo Tomas de Castilla on the Caribbean coast, next to Puerto Barrios. There is no minimum ocean charge, so freight follows the size of the shipment. The country's other main port, Puerto Quetzal, is on the Pacific; from Miami the Caribbean side is the shorter sailing.
Guatemala City is a long drive inland and uphill from the port, and most orders end there. Your forwarder or customs agent arranges that truck. Crates built for an ocean crossing stand up to a mountain road, but tell us if the last stretch to the site is unpaved so we can brace the load for it.
What your written quote covers
One written quote for Guatemala, in US dollars: the doors, crating in Miami, delivery to your forwarder and ocean freight to Santo Tomas de Castilla. Duty, taxes and customs at destination are yours. The crate sizes, the terms and every port we quote are on the export page.
Operators and gate operators for a city at altitude
Guatemala City sits about 1,500 meters up, so doors there see cooler nights and far less salt than a coastal building. What wears out is the motor: residential openers, commercial jackshaft and trolley operators and gate operators for condominium entrances and business parks. They all ship with the doors, on a pallet in the same shipment.
Send the door size and weight, or the gate length and weight, and we match the operator to it. Power supply varies from site to site, so tell us the voltage and whether there is three phase power for a commercial operator.
An earthquake country
Guatemala's structural rules are written around earthquakes. The door hangs from a header and track supports your engineer has already designed, so what we need from you is the rough opening, the headroom and the side room, and we pick the lift type that fits.
On the coasts, wind can matter too. If your engineer specifies a design pressure, send it and we match a wind rated model, which ships with its product approval documents.
What you handle in Guatemala
Import duty, IVA, customs clearance and delivery from the port are yours; the customs agency is the SAT. Guatemala is a CAFTA-DR country, so US made goods can qualify for a reduced or zero duty rate if they meet its rules of origin. Ask us for each item's country of origin and let your customs agent confirm the rate.
We supply the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. Quotes and invoices are in US dollars, and you can deal with us in Spanish throughout.
