The DR and Guatemala are still holding discussions aimed at resolving ongoing trade issues between the two DR-CAFTA signatories. The conflict began earlier this year after Dominican exporters complained of unfair trade and tariff practices at Guatemalan ports. A mission of Dominican experts from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce traveled to El Salvador to discuss the complaints with the Guatemalan authorities.
