Information for Returning Residents

Some of the items not covered by this article are; Motor Vehicles, Pets, Plants and Firearms. The procedures covering these and other items were too long and involved to do adequate justice in such a short format. Motor Vehicle importation is a costly process with duties being several times higher than those for other personal goods. Many items require Import Licenses and Special Tax Permits.

We hope this article has helped you decide what to take and how to handle those procedures. Remember, this is only a "guideline" and additional research should be undertaken before making your final move. Jamaica is a wonderful place to live and we hope you will make this move a success.
