Article 27 (as amended by Decree 19-2016) requires a guarantee covering the full amount of the suspended taxes, in the form of a cash deposit, general deposit warehouses authorized as bonded warehouses with a specific guarantee, a surety bond, a mortgage guarantee or a combination of these. The discharge (art. 28) is granted by customs once it verifies that the goods were used for the authorized purpose or were re-exported, exported or nationalized. The company must request the discharge from the tax authority (SAT) within 45 days of the Export Declaration, re-export declaration or FAUCA (art. 29); filing late costs a fine of US$100 (payable in quetzales) for each late declaration.

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.
