Car Shipping - Vehicle Import to Jamaica

The completed form should be mailed directly to the Trade Board along with the supporting documentation, (N.B.: in the case of your passport the first five (5) pages) certified by a Justice of the Peace or notary public. Copies of your identification can also be certified by a Consular Officer at any Jamaican Diplomatic or Consular Mission overseas.

The form should also be accompanied by an Initial Deposit Fee of five (5) dollars or pounds in US, Canadian or UK currency, payable by cheque, money order or postal order to the Trade Board Limited. This fee is not refundable.

Collection of the Order and Clearance permit
Once the application is received at the Trade Board, it is generally processed within 24 hours if the form is properly completed and the supporting documents are in order. When approved, the Order and Clearance Permit or Import License is available for collection at the Trade Board location to which it was directed for processing in Kingston or Montego Bay. If you are unable to collect in person you may:
1. Ask a family member or friend to collect it. They should be provided with a letter of authorization by you, and, when visiting the Trade Board's office, they should have appropriate identification.
2. Request you Licensed Customs Broker to collect it.

1. 25 US or CDN dollars or UK pounds for a Permit for a vehicle valued over US$500 but less than US$10,000
2. 50 US or CDN dollars or UK pounds for a Permit for a vehicle valued at US$10,000 and up to US$100,000
