Bringing things into Jamaica

Leave at home

  • Camouflage clothing

Camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians, including on children, and is confiscated at the airport.

Camouflage clothing is confiscated at the airport, meat and dairy are illegal to bring in, and the declaration is filed online before you fly.

  • Camouflage clothing may not be brought in or worn. It is restricted to the security forces, it is taken on arrival, and the rule applies to a toddler's shorts as much as an adult's jacket.
  • Meat and dairy products are illegal to bring in. Bags are searched and banned foodstuffs are destroyed rather than returned.
  • File the C5 immigration and customs form online before you arrive; it is where the declaration is made.
  • Declare cash or travellers cheques worth USD 10,000 or more on the C5, and expect a second form from the Financial Investigation Division asking for the source of the money and what it is for. Not declaring it means seizure and a fine.
  • Cannabis is decriminalised in small amounts but may not leave the country. Taking it to the airport is trafficking, and the dogs are at departures.
  • Coral, turtle shell and wildlife products may not be exported.
