The Jamaica Customs Agency said it is on track to roll out the electronic single-window system for trade in 2021.

The system, which is currently being worked on by customs and border regulatory agencies, will facilitate the submission on one platform of all documentation relating to trade.

“We understand, we have listened and we put in the investments in place to make it happen,” said CEO of the Jamaica Customs Agency, Velma Ricketts Walker, on Monday during an online forum,  ‘Customs meets the Diaspora’.

“We want to stop where persons have to be running around to various entities, it was a norm but it is no longer a norm,” she said.
