Jamaica Customs Speeds Up New Car Imports
Description
Starting Monday, June 22, 2026, Jamaica Customs is revolutionizing car imports by letting authorized dealers’ brand-new vehicles clear customs instantly—no more port delays. This bold move, part of the Trade Facilitation Programme, trusts these dealers’ track record to avoid unnecessary checks, shifting inspections to after the cars leave the port. Minister Fayval Williams says it’s about boosting efficiency and business ease, while Acting Commissioner Kirk Benjamin highlights slashed costs, congestion, and wasted time. Customs officers can now focus on higher-risk areas, making this a smarter, streamlined upgrade for legitimate trade.
