The U.S. government is extending and amending import restrictions for five years on archaeological and ethnological material from Guatemala, which are set to expire Sept. 29, said CBP in a Federal Register notice.

The list of designated articles will also be amended to include ecclesiastical ethnological material dating to the Conquest and Colonial Periods of Guatemala (c. A.D. 1524 to 1821), said CBP.
