Does anyone have experience shipping a 20" container or a smaller amount of personal goods to Guatemala? Did they actually all arrive, and is there duty on used personal items.


Has anyone had success maintaining U.S. licence plates for a time to avoid paying the vehicle VAT?

I considered moving my household goods from north FL to Guatemala. the shipping co wanted $6,000-$8,000 + the broker in Guate wanted enough the bill would have been over $16,000. explore all options. I bought a 1998 school bus, $2,053, and will drive it to Guate. when I get there I still have something of value; I've not just paid $$ for services rendered.

greetings from a guy wanting to move to Guate. In the very recent past, I've been in contact with Helen at Rubymovers.com(?) and she put me in contact with Luis, a destination agent in Guatemala city. Not sure exactly how things will shape up or work out, but at least these 2 people communicate with me quite quickly. so maybe look into them.
