Shipping from Dubai
to Guatemala.

Yes. Our movers and packers do the packing, wrapping and listing in Dubai, then we ship your furniture and household goods in a full container, or share one if you have less to send. The item by item list matters, because customs clear personal effects against it. Fuel, gas cylinders, paint, aerosols and loose batteries cannot travel, and we give you the full list before packing day.

Sea freight to Guatemala takes about 42 to 45 days, and air freight shows about 1 day and 2 hours of routing time before destination handling and customs. Puerto Quetzal on the Pacific is around 44 days and 20 hours, and Santo Tomas on the Caribbean about 42 days including a transhipment. We give you a date in writing when we quote.

Whichever side the delivery is on. The three day difference in sailing is not the point: Guatemala is mountainous and crossing it takes real time. Puerto Quetzal for Guatemala City, Escuintla and the west. Santo Tomas or Puerto Barrios for the east and Izabal. Tell us the delivery town and we will pick.

It is the registration a company needs before regular commercial importing in Guatemala. The tax authority checks the identification number, taxpayer record, tax status and customs agent arrangements as part of it. If something is not in order the registration does not go through and the shipment cannot clear. It sits with your buyer, so we confirm it before you book.

It depends on what you send, how big it is, and where in Guatemala it is going. We do not publish prices because every shipment is different. Sea freight to Guatemala is priced per container when you fill one, and per cubic metre when you share one. Air freight to Guatemala is priced on weight or size, whichever is greater. Send us the details and we send you a price in writing, usually the same day.

All of them. Guatemala City, Mixco, Villa Nueva, Quetzaltenango, Escuintla, San Miguel Petapa, Villa Canales, Chinautla, Chimaltenango, Huehuetenango, Coban, Puerto Barrios, Antigua Guatemala, Mazatenango, Retalhuleu and Zacapa. Just give us the address and we bring it to the door.

More often than you would think. A current route model shows about a day and two hours of routing time, with destination handling and customs on top. Against a sea leg of six weeks, that is a much wider gap than on most lanes, so for anything time sensitive it deserves a real comparison rather than an assumption.

It might. Food and health products commonly need sanitary registration in Guatemala, and agricultural cargo needs plant or animal health documentation. Those take time and cannot be arranged at the border. Send us the product and the HS code and we will check before you book.

Yes. Guatemala Customs has a specific document process for imported vehicles, so the paperwork is defined rather than improvised. We could not verify a current blanket maximum age for ordinary used car imports, so we will check your exact vehicle rather than quote a rule that might be wrong. Send us the make, model, year and chassis number before you buy.

Yes. We handle freight forwarding to Guatemala door to door. We collect the goods in Dubai, move them, clear them through customs, and bring them to your address. You deal with one company for the whole journey.

You can send as little as one box or one pallet. We put small shipments from different customers into one shared container. This is called LCL, or less than container load. Your goods load at Jebel Ali and come into Puerto Quetzal or Santo Tomas. When you have more goods, you move up to your own full container, which is called FCL. We will tell you which one is cheaper.

Yes, at both ends. We handle customs clearance in Dubai and customs clearance in Guatemala. You do not need to find your own clearing agent.

Yes. We collect anywhere in Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE. We can also hold your goods in warehousing and storage in Dubai until you are ready to ship. On this lane that is useful, because it lets the cargo wait while the buyer registration is confirmed.

Yes. We move project cargo to Guatemala as well. Big, heavy items go in open top or flat rack containers, or loose on the ship. The inland leg needs planning for oversized pieces because the roads climb, so send us the size and weight along with the delivery town.

Yes. We move full house moves and part loads to Guatemala, including Guatemala City, Quetzaltenango and Antigua. We pack, collect, move and deliver, and we handle the customs clearance so your things are not waiting on paperwork. The tax authority has a defined household goods procedure, though we could not verify a broad returning national concession, so we will confirm your position rather than promise one.
