Before you ship to Jamaica

Tax-free limit
If the goods in a shipment are worth US$100 FOB (about J$15,950) or less, no duty or tax is due. FOB means the goods alone, without shipping or insurance. The rule covers commercial and non-commercial shipments. Above US$100, duty and taxes are charged on the whole CIF value (goods, insurance, and freight), not just the part over the limit.
Receiver ID
TRN (Taxpayer Registration Number) needed. Customs asks for the receiver's TRN and valid photo ID to clear personal goods, including unaccompanied baggage and barrels, so expect the courier to ask for it too. A TRN is free from Tax Administration Jamaica: apply at any of its 29 collectorates (tax offices) with photo ID and supporting documents such as a certified birth or marriage certificate. Get it before the box ships.
Transit
2-5 business days from North America; 4-7 from Europe; 5-8 from Asia
