Guatemala’s Chamber of Commerce (CCG) and the Association of Exporters (Agexport) have expressed support for new import prohibitions targeting goods produced with forced labor. However, these business groups are cautioning that successful implementation hinges on the establishment of clear guidelines. They emphasize the need for defined regulations to avoid disrupting legitimate trade operations. The organizations acknowledge the importance of combating forced labor within supply chains. They want to ensure that any restrictions are applied fairly and do not create unnecessary barriers to imports. Specifically, they are seeking clarity on how the ban will be enforced and what constitutes sufficient evidence of forced labor. Failure to establish these clear rules, they warn, could negatively impact Guatemalan commerce.
