The registration deadline is quickly approaching for companies interested in joining the Auto Care Association trade mission to Guatemala, with an optional stop in El Salvador.

In partnership with the International Trade Administration and U.S. Commercial Service, the trade mission will take place in Guatemala City, Guatemala, June 21-22, and San Salvador, El Salvador, June 23-24. The deadline to register is May 5. 



The U.S. is the largest trading partner for Guatemala and El Salvador, and as a result of the Central American Free Trade Agreement, 100 percent of U.S. consumer and industrial goods exports to Guatemala and El Salvador are no longer subject to tariffs. Free trade agreements increase transparency, improve the business environment and reduce market access barriers. 



Trade mission packages start at $2,500 and include personalized business-to-business matchmaking meetings with foreign industry executives, pre-screened to match companies’ specific business objectives; hotel accommodations and local transportation; networking receptions; interpreters; and market overview briefings. 



As part of the Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) award the association received from the U.S. Department of Commerce to help the automotive industry increase exports to Latin America, companies seeking to export goods or services produced in the United States, may be eligible for a $1,500 reimbursement of the trade mission costs after fulfilling certain reporting requirements.
