Environmental Considerations
Jamaica is moving towards sustainability, so think about:
- Is it eco-friendlier to ship old items or buy efficient new ones?
- Energy-saving appliances may be a better long-term choice.
- Reducing unnecessary shipments lowers carbon footprint.
Balance Heart and Head
“To ship or not to ship?” is ultimately a personal choice. It is about balancing financial prudence,
lifestyle needs, and emotional value.
For some, a barrel or two is enough. For others, only a container will do. The key is to plan, budget, and
use Jamaica’s duty concessions wisely. Remember, what you bring should support your new life in
Jamrock, not weigh it down.
Handled properly, shipping is not a burden but a bridge — a way of carrying the best of your overseas life
into your Jamaican future.
