Jamaica Post will resume shipping parcels and packets (merchandise) to the United States (US) market on June 1, following the implementation of a system for the pre-calculation and payment of duties before the packages leave Jamaica.

The update comes several months after the suspension was effected in response to Executive Order 14324, which revoked the previous de minimis exemption for low-value items (those below US$800) entering the US duty-free.

The announcement regarding the resumption of the service was made by Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Efficiency, Innovation and Digital Transformation, Ambassador Audrey Marks.
