The law assigns the application, with its technical and economic report, to MINECO's Industrial Policy Directorate (art. 20) and the qualification resolution to the Ministry (art. 22); the adviser consulted calls it the "Directorate of External Trade Policy" and dossier 03 records it as "Directorate of Foreign Trade Policy / DACE" — the unit's current name remains to be confirmed. Eligibility: production, processing, assembly or packing for export by a company legally incorporated in Guatemala; the adviser adds exporting at least 80% of output, a percentage that does not appear in the consolidated text of Decree 29-89 and should be treated as an administrative criterion to be confirmed with MINECO. The file, per the adviser: the deed of incorporation, an export plan with projected employment, a list of machinery, inputs and projected value added, and a copy of the property lease. The official requirements page (portal.mineco.gob.gt/requisitos-29-89) did not resolve during the session; the official list must be downloaded in the data phase.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
