What You Can't Ship to Jamaica
Most everyday purchases — clothing, electronics, shoes, home goods — ship without any issue. A short list of categories can't fly with us at all, and a few need a permit first. Here's the full picture.
Items MGR cannot ship, under any circumstances
To stay compliant with Jamaica Customs, international aviation rules, and U.S. air-freight law, we cannot ship:
- Alcohol or alcohol-based products
- Flammable, combustible, or explosive materials
- Corrosive substances
- Hazardous chemicals
- Illegal substances of any kind
Items that need a permit first
Some goods require an import permit, licence, or clearance from a Jamaican ministry or agency before they're allowed to fly — this varies by product category and can change. If you're shipping anything outside typical consumer goods (certain electronics, agricultural products, specialty devices), check the official Jamaica Customs restricted-items list first, or just ask our team before you order.
What about barrels?
MGR doesn't ship barrels — the freight volume and customs handling involved are outside what we currently support. If you're used to barrel shipping, the equivalent with MGR is splitting your goods into separate boxes, each with its own invoice, and shipping them individually.
A quick gut check before you buy
- Is it a liquid, aerosol, or anything flammable? Probably not shippable.
- Is it a specialty or regulated product (certain electronics, agricultural items)? Check for a permit requirement first.
- Everything else — clothing, shoes, accessories, most electronics, books, home goods — ships normally.
