The Jamaica Customs Agency has been making positive changes in the way it operates and has removed a number of impediments in order to achieve greater efficiency. 

The automated environment currently available for Customs and trade in Jamaica was built by the government owned company eGov Ja. Ltd formerly Fiscal Services Limited almost 20 years ago. Since then, the results of the implementation of the CASE system, as it is widely known, have to date facilitated automation in some operations of the Customs Administration with a few limitations.

The existing system along with the myriad of satellite applications do not include the full functionality required of a ‘state-of-the-art’ fully integrated Customs management system; therefore, an alternative, more efficient technical solution is being provided through the implementation of UNCTAD’s latest version of ASYCUDA, known as ASYCUDA World (Version 4).
