No more traffic, no more standing in line, reduced manual entry, reduced paper.
Having re-engineered and standardized Jamaica’s trade and logistics processes, we provide simple and effective business
tools for the Jamaican Port Community. Our intuitive online user interface allows you to communicate directly with Customs
