Resumen
Guam (ISO code: GU) is an island in the western Pacific and the easternmost U.S. territory, about 3,500 km east of the Philippines. It belongs to the United States but has its own local government and elected legislature. The climate is tropical-maritime with a distinct rainy and typhoon season. The economy is dominated by services, especially tourism, trade, public administration and the U.S. military, supplemented by limited agriculture and fishing. Foreign trade is heavily import-dependent (food, fuel, electronics, consumer goods), while exports remain limited. The currency is the U.S. dollar. As a logistics gateway between Asia and the Pacific, Guam relies on Apra Harbor and Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport for cargo, supply and military logistics.

No. Guam lies outside the U.S. CBP customs territory and operates its own customs regime administered by the Customs and Quarantine Agency (CQA).
There is no VAT. Goods for own use are subject to a 4 percent use tax on value plus freight; resale merchandise is instead subject to the business privilege tax.
The business privilege tax (gross receipts tax) is currently 5 percent and is being rolled back to 4 percent effective 1 October 2026.
Typically a commercial invoice, bill of lading or air waybill, packing list and certificate of origin are required; plants and agricultural goods also need an import permit from the Department of Agriculture.
Ocean freight runs through the Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port in Apra Harbor (over 90 percent of imports), air freight through Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM).
Yes. As a U.S. territory, Guam is fully subject to U.S. export controls (EAR/BIS) and OFAC sanctions programs.
The typhoon season runs mainly from July to November. Severe storms such as Typhoon Mawar in 2023 can shut down the port and airport for days and disrupt supply.
