Importaciones y aduanas — Jamaica

Desde el 1 de septiembre de 2023, todo pasajero que llega a Jamaica debe completar la Declaración Electrónica de Pasajero (C5) en enterjamaica.gov.jm antes de aterrizar. Es gratis y obligatoria para el despacho en los aeropuertos internacionales. Hay que declarar alimentos, plantas, carnes y productos de origen animal, miel, dinero por US$10,000 o más, armas y pistolas de juguete, y toda mercancía que supere tu franquicia. ATENCIÓN: la Aduana de Jamaica publica hoy dos cifras distintas de franquicia para efectos personales y del hogar: US$500 en su FAQ y en la tarjeta de declaración, y US$1,000 en sus páginas de franquicia al pasajero. Cuenta con US$500 y declara todo lo que exceda. Si no tienes nada que declarar usa la Línea Verde; si sí, la Línea Roja.

Original (EN): Since 1 September 2023 every arriving passenger must complete an Electronic Passenger Declaration (C5) online at enterjamaica.gov.jm before landing. It is free and required for clearance at Jamaica international airports. You must declare food, plants, meat and animal products, honey, cash of US$10,000 or more, weapons and toy guns, and any goods over your allowance. CAUTION: Jamaica Customs currently publishes two different duty-free figures for personal and household effects - US$500 on its FAQ and on the declaration card, US$1,000 on its passenger-allowance pages. Plan on US$500 and declare anything above it. Nothing to declare goes Green Line; anything declarable goes Red.

The C5 declaration card states: "I understand that the failure to make a full declaration is an offence and may result in fines, forfeiture of the goods and/or imprisonment. I also understand that I have the right to appeal." Jamaica Customs further states that "Any restricted goods arriving without a valid permit is a breach of Section 210 of the Customs Act."
