Key Facts
—The pact. A US-Guatemala Reciprocal Trade Agreement, signed on January 30, is set to take effect once temporary tariffs lapse.
—The clock. The 10% Section 122 tariff runs for 150 days from February 24 and is due to expire around July 24.
—The prize. About 72% of Guatemalan exports already enter the US duty-free; the deal would extend relief to much of the rest.
