Sea Shipping from China to Jamaica: Duty Exemptions and Prohibited Items
Jamaica offers duty exemptions for certain goods imported from China, such as medical supplies and educational equipment, but a formal application must be submitted to the Jamaican Ministry of Finance. Prohibited items include counterfeit goods and certain agricultural products to protect local farmers. The customs clearance process requires submitting a bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, and a certificate of origin. Jamaica also has strict regulations on the import of motor vehicles, which must meet local emission standards.
