The Jamaica Customs Department has delayed the implementation of increased rates for clearance of personal effects barrels.

Persons clearing barrels will continue to pay the existing rate of J$5000 per barrel until 31 December 2012. The new rate of J$6000 will take effect on Wednesday 2 January 2013
