Guatemala - PricingGuatemala - Pricing
Price is a very important decision factor for Guatemalan businesspeople when selecting a supplier of imported goods and services. Many Guatemalan businesspeople are accustomed to purchasing directly from foreign exporters, especially when they feel that the prices of locally available imported products or services are too high. In order to calculate the cost of a product or shipment, companies add up the following expenses:
a) Product F.O.B. cost
b) Product freight and/or transportation cost
c) Product insurance cost
d) Import duties
e) Value added tax, 12 percent
