AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Tariff Shock for Guatemala Exporters: The U.S. rolled out Section 301 forced-labor tariffs on 60 economies, with Guatemala listed in the 10% tier, effective as a temporary 10% global duty expired (goods in transit get a short grace). The U.S. says the move targets countries that fail to impose and enforce forced-labor import bans, with many product exemptions (oil, gas, fertilizer, some foods) but clear compliance pressure for supply chains. Trade Office Expansion: Taiwan opened the Latin American and Caribbean Trade Office (LACTO) in Taipei, expanding beyond Belize and Guatemala to cover four more allies, aiming to boost business matchmaking and highlight agriculture, fishery, food, tourism, and investment opportunities. Food Safety Watch: A U.S. cyclosporiasis traceback investigation is underway after a second outbreak announcement, following a larger Taco Bell-linked lettuce outbreak that has spread to more states—another reminder for regional food exporters to tighten traceability. Animal Health Risk: The FAO flagged the New World Screwworm as a growing transboundary threat to livestock and trade across the Americas, driven by animal movement and surveillance gaps. Human Smuggling Case: In Texas, 11 people were indicted in an alleged train-and-container smuggling operation that prosecutors say killed seven migrants, including a Guatemalan defendant.
