   Mandatory Submission of 6-Digits HS Code for Inbound Cargo.pdf (477.4K) [44] DATE : 2016-08-19 08:56:19
Dear all,

Be advised that as informed since May, HS Code and Freighted BL will be mandatory for JAMAICA from September 1st.

  For shipments with final destination JAMAICA, bls must be freighted, without exceptions.
  6-digits HS Code of all shipments with final destination JAMAICA, must be included on bl description. (This new regulation will start on Sept 1st, 2016)

For shipments deemed ¡°Personal Effects and Household Goods¡± it seems we will have to use the HS Code for the commodity with the greater volume eg. it is ¡°Clothing and Groceries¡± then one could use either ¡°Clothing¡± or ¡°Groceries¡± whichever commodity has the greater volume.

Jamaica Customs is using the HS Code as a ¡°Risk Management¡± tool so please ensure the Shipper/Supplier provides you with the 6 Digit HS Code so this information can be inputted to the Master Bill of Lading, house bill of Lading and the house manifest using a .csv file etc.

**In case of fines due to missing information, will be invoice to origin agent.
