OH NOOOOOOO.....this is not good news. does it have a list or anything as to what we can bring? or not allowed to bring? I thnk what i will do .... is plead stupid lol i might just put all the pharmacy stuff in one OOT bag and hope that they dont go through it all lol but better safe than sorry im going to call my w/c and see if these are allowed. Another thing i might do is, call the jamaica board and give them a list of the items im looking at bringing, and explain the situation (PLEAD MY CASE) if i get anything back...i will def keep you girls in contact to what i find. But i totally agree Celticgirl...could the wording be anymore confusing in content???? Quote: Originally Posted by celticgirl

If we have a few entering bulk then they may not allow us to bring them in (I fear). I am unsure, I may call them and ask, or I may plead ignorance and see if that issue crosses me when I pass through customs.
In reguards to your other question, When you click on passangers under the jamaican customs website, it reads this Instruments and tools to be used for the purpose of their profession, trade, occupation or employment, provided that the items have been in the passengers’ possession and bonafide use for a reasonable period; Tobacco and some potable articles including wines and spirits in the baggage or on the person which they might reasonably be expected to carry with them for personal use, in such quantities as the Commissioner may from time to time approve; Used household effects which have been in the passenger’s use for a reasonable period of time and are not imported for sale; A passenger who is eighteen (18) years or older and who is the holder of a Jamaican passport or is ordinarily resident in Jamaica is entitled to additional duty concession in respect of other personal or household effects not specified in (1), (2) or (3) above which the proper officer is satisfied are not imported for sale or commercial exchange and do not exceed US$500 in total value. This concession will not be granted to a person who has been permitted duty free importation under this section within the six-month period immediately preceding the date of return to Jamaica.
There was also another section under "duties/taxes" that read this: Customs User Fee (CUF)
The Customs User Fee is applicable to all imports and is calculated on the CIF value of all goods being imported. The fee also forms part of the personal and household effects of a passenger, if the value of these goods have exceeded US$500.00 ....im not sure if this is what you were looking for? Browse that sight and let me know what conclusions you draw, I found the wording a little confusing lol...
