The Government has ordered the implementation, starting July 1, 2026, of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Peru and Guatemala, as well as the Protocol to the Free Trade Agreement between both countries.
The measure was made official through Supreme Decree N.° 007-2026-MINCETUR, published this Tuesday in the Legal Norms bulletin of the Official Gazette El Peruano.
The norm recalls that the FTA was signed on December 6, 2011, in Guatemala City, while the complementary protocol was signed on April 23, 2025, in Lima. Both instruments were ratified by Supreme Decree N.° 023-2026-RE, published on May 29 of this year.
According to today's decree, the treaty establishes that its entry into force occurs 60 days after both parties exchange notifications confirming compliance with their internal legal procedures or on a mutually agreed date.
In this context, Peru and Guatemala made the corresponding notifications regarding the completion of said procedures and agreed that both the treaty and the protocol will enter into force on July 1, 2026.
The provision also indicates that the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur) will communicate to the competent entities the necessary measures for the proper execution of both commercial instruments.
Likewise, it specifies that the full texts of the Free Trade Agreement between Peru and Guatemala and its protocol are available on the Mincetur's Peruvian Trade Agreements website.
