Tier 1 Custom Broker

In an effort to become more efficiently in the clearance of cargo from the wharves and airports Jamaica Customs implemented the Authorized Economic Operators (AEO) program in 2009. This process saw Jamaica Customs relying more on Customs Brokers than Customs personnel in the processing of clearance documentation for qualified importers.

This prompted the department to introduce the Tier 1 and Tier 2 Customs Brokerage System

WorldTrade eLogistics is qualified as a Tier 1 Customs Brokerage corporation.
