Car Shipping - Customs Regulations for Vehicle Import to Jamaica

Once this document has been collected, the importer can complete his shipping and clearance activities within a reasonable period. The vehicle may be shipped to any port of entry.

Anyone who imports any motor vehicle without first obtaining a valid Order and Clearance Permit will be liable to a fine equivalent to three times the value of the motor vehicle, plus seizure of the vehicle.

Clearance of the Motor Vehicle
Your Licensed Customs Broker will be responsible for the clearance of the vehicle from the port of entry. He/she will advise you of the procedure to be followed, the information required, and the costs involved for the services to be provided. For a new motor vehicle, you can estimate the amount of Customs Duty you will have to pay on your vehicle by applying the relevant Aggregate Customs Duty rate to the value on the supplier's pro-form invoice.

With used vehicles the depreciated value applicable to the age and mileage of the vehicle can be referenced from Glass's Guide (for vehicles being shipped from the UK and Europe), and the NADA Book (for vehicles being shipped from North America).
