Preciso pagar imposto sobre as minhas posses que trago comigo para a Jamaica?

2

Estou viajando para a Jamaica para minha lua de mel na segunda-feira da próxima semana. Este artigo diz que os visitantes da Jamaica podem precisar pagar impostos sobre certos itens e seguir estas etapas para evitar isso:

STEP 1 - Register high-priced items like laptops, cameras or watches with the Customs and Border Patrol division of Homeland Security (cbp.gov). Visit the nearest CBP office and ask for Form 4457, the "Certificate of Registration for Personal Effects Taken Abroad." This certificate will exempt you from paying duty on an item with a unique serial number when you enter Jamaica.

...

STEP 4 -q Show your Certificate of Registration when you declare your camera, laptop or other expensive, registered items., and that to avoid this a free form can be filed with US Customs and Border Patrol proving ownership of items upon arrival in Jamaica.

Eu acredito que a forma sendo referenciado é este formulário mas o formulário no link diz que expirou a partir de 29/02/2016.

É claro que isso entra em conflito com outras fontes que li (em geral, anedótica) que disseram que ninguém é normalmente verificado ou taxado por esses tipos de itens, então não sei o que pensar ou se preciso preparar .

Esta informação foi encontrada na FAQ da Alfândega da Jamaica :

Q) Is it customary to charge duty on my personal items e.g. cameras and cellular phones, which I take with me on my trips abroad?

A) Customs can charge duty on these items if they exceed your duty free allowance, and there is no proof that these items were in your possession on your outbound journey. One way of providing this proof is by declaring these items to Customs Duty office at the airport proir to departure of your flight.

Mas esta resposta a perguntas frequentes está se referindo claramente aos cidadãos jamaicanos que viajam para o exterior, não aos visitantes que viajam para a Jamaica.

Para resumir, posso ter de pagar impostos sobre o meu laptop e / ou câmera, e como posso evitar o pagamento desses impostos sobre meus itens pessoais quando viajo entre a Jamaica e os Estados Unidos? A experiência anedótica é aceitável desde que possa ser apoiada por experiências específicas ao lidar com as Alfândegas da Jamaica.

De acordo com os subsídios Jamaica Observer :

All passengers 18 years and older are allowed the following:

  • US$500 duty-free

on household and personal effects;

  • 170 ml bottle of perfume

  • 340 ml bottle of eau de toilette

  • 2 litres of alcoholic beverages

  • 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 230 grams of processed tobacco

** Red line vs green lines**

If you have not exceeded your allowances then you would proceed to the GREEN LINE or the NOTHING TO DECLARE line.

However, if you have exceeded your allowances or have unaccompanied baggage (meaning you have shipped items to arrive after you have landed) you MUST proceed to the RED LINE.

If you have shipped items (barrels, boxes, crates, pallets, etc) please remember to ask the customer service representative at the Information Desk for a C27 or yellow form. After completing this form, present it along with your C5 form and passport to the Customs officer at the top of the RED LINE.

Be reminded that even if you have nothing to declare in your luggage, as long as you have "unaccompanied luggage" you must proceed to the red line.

When you go to the sea port/wharf/air cargo to clear your "unaccompanied luggage" remember to bring the C27 (yellow form) as proof that you travelled. If you have not utilised your US$500.00 allowance in your accompanied luggage, your duty-free allowance will be transferred to the items you have shipped.

If you have "unaccompanied luggage" and did not complete a yellow form and cleared Customs through the GREEN LINE, when you go to clear your "unaccompanied items" your allowances will NOT be considered. This is because by going through the Green Line you claimed you had "nothing to declare".

After being processed by the Customs officer, passengers should exit the Customs Hall in a timely manner.

When "Clearing Customs" at the airport, passengers should remember that making a FALSE DECLARATION or declaring COMMERCIAL ITEMS as PERSONAL EFFECTS will result in a breach of Section 209 & 210 of the Customs Act and penalties will be levied and possible forfeiture of goods.

Feel free to ask our Customer Service Representatives stationed at the Information Desk in the Customs Hall for assistance.

Não é um site oficial do governo, mas mais informativo neste caso do que outros que são. Portanto, nenhum imposto se o que você importa por meio de objetos pessoais vale até US $ 500. Se valer mais do que isso e você pretende exportar os itens após o casamento que você quer fazer contato como aconselhado acima para verificar o que a papelada é necessária para evitar o pagamento de impostos na entrada (talvez um CPD ), ou para recuperá-lo na saída.
