Guatemala - Summary of Requirements
Please note: Guatemala's Ministry of Agriculture (MAGA) requires a valid import permit prior to the embarkation and importation of animals. The import permit must give the specific requirements if the protocol/model health certificate is not available. Game cocks must be clearly identified as such on the health certificate. If not, they will be destroyed. The exporting party must provide this information.
The following protocols for exporting animals to Guatemala are available through the International Regulations Retrieval System (IRRS).
