A Process That Prioritizes Customs Clearance Success

(01)
Shipment Preparation
(

We inspect every detail of each device being shipped, from labeling to product markings to ensure that what you’re actually looking to ship is what’s being shipped and that all relevant product and packaging compliance requirements are met.
(02)
Documentation Work
(
1
Days)
After we perform our manifest process, our team of experts will work on all of the documentation for your shipment, from administrative paperwork to licenses and permits.
(03)
Direct Air Freight
(
2
Days)
For 98% of our shipments, we’ll use direct air-freight as the international mode of transportation as it's the fastest and most secure way to transport high value equipment.

FGX will handle all of the communication with customs and since we did all of the work upfront, customs clearance is rarely an issue. If any inquires come up, FGX will deal with it directly.

FAQ
Can I act as my own Importer of Record in Jamaica?
In order to act as your own Importer of Record in Jamaica, you must have a registered, local business entity. Most of our clients do not have a registered business in Jamaica and therefore will have to utilize FGX’s Importer of Record services. If you choose to act as your own Importer of Record, this may extend the timeline.
Are there any additional taxes or fees when shipping to Jamaica?
In addition to VAT, imports into Jamaica will be subject to an environmental levy. The environmental levy is a percentage of the total CIF (cost, insurance, and freight value) and is issued on all shipments.
Will I need any additional licenses to import IT equipment into Jamaica?
Like most countries, Jamaica will require you to obtain an import permit which FGX can obtain for you. Certain telecommunications equipment may require special permitting. FGX will manage all additional permits and authorizations needed for import into Jamaica.
