The Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA) has adjusted its clearance system for new vehicles imported into Jamaica by authorised new car dealers.

Currently, these vehicles are required to undergo mandatory verification before they can be removed from the port.

Under the new arrangement, imported vehicles will undergo post-clearance verification and will be released immediately.
