Over the years, returning-residents have been given either incorrect or very little information when returning home. This is where confusion and complaints can arise, so we hope do go some way to correcting this situation.
Firstly to qualify as a “Returning resident” you should have lived or worked outside Jamaica for at least three years.
Secondly you should not have made any major shipments within the last twelve months. These points are normally ascertained when you attend your interview with the customs officer.
You would expect to pay little or no duty on your personal effects, once you have confirmed your status with the Commissioner of Customs, depending on nature of the goods packed in your container. We will normally warn you if you are likely to pay any customs duty.
We pride ourselves on quality of service, being honest and straightforward with our customers, and assure you that the price you are quoted for door-to-door shipment of your goods is FULLY INCLUSIVE, with NOTHING ELSE TO PAY except possibly customs duty or storage if you are delayed arriving in Jamaica.
Our unique collection service is unrivalled, due to the fact that you will be collected from any address in Jamaica and escorted to your “Customs Interview”, thus eliminating all concerns regarding transportation or finding Customs House. We will then take you back home and return with your container, or if you prefer, we will collect you to attend the custom inspection of your container.
