about customs brokers
Who is a Customs Broker
A Customs Broker is a licensed professional who helps importers and exporters move goods across borders by ensuring full compliance with customs laws and regulations. In Jamaica, customs brokers play a vital role in the supply chain — acting as the link between businesses, government agencies, and international trade.
What Customs Brokers Do
Customs brokers manage the complex process of clearing goods through customs. This includes:
Preparing & Submitting Documentation – from customs declarations to permits and valuation forms.
Tariff Classification & Duty Calculation – ensuring the correct HS codes are applied and duties/taxes are accurately assessed.
Regulatory Compliance – working with agencies such as the Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA), Trade Board, and other authorities.
Cargo Clearance & Release – coordinating inspections, payments, and approvals for timely cargo delivery.
Advisory Services – guiding clients on import/export regulations, concessions, and duty waivers to reduce costs and avoid penalties.
