Following a period of delays at Jamaican ports, the country’s customs department said it has identified areas of delay, and will implement strategies aimed at ensuring timely cargo clearance at the ports.

The Customs Department said it recognized the delays, but urged customers to be aware of the multiple actors involved in clearing cargo.

“Jamaica Customs has identified the areas of delay and have already contacted the Warehouse Operators/Port Handlers to discuss additional methods to further reduce delays during the Christmas period,” the agency said in a release.

“We remain committed to our customers,” it said.
