EasiParcel Jamaica helps customers leverage the Government's extended tax waiver on hurricane relief items through US and Chinese retailers. From October 29 to December 31, 2025, Jamaicans can import over 50 relief item categories without paying Import Duty or GCT.
-- KINGSTON, Jamaica - November 11, 2025 - EasiParcel Jamaica is supporting the national Hurricane Melissa recovery effort by helping Jamaicans purchase and ship disaster relief items from the United States and China, taking advantage of the Government's extended tax waiver on essential goods.
From October 29 to December 31, 2025, the Jamaica Customs Agency has waived Import Duty and General Consumption Tax on over 50 categories of relief items, including cleaning supplies, bottled water, generators, bedding, first aid kits, and construction materials.
"This tax waiver represents a significant opportunity for Jamaicans to access essential relief items at reduced costs," said Courtney Patterson, CEO of EasiParcel. "EasiParcel is ready to facilitate these shipments from major US retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon, as well as Chinese platforms like Alibaba, Taobao, and AliExpress, directly to our four locations across Jamaica."
How It Works
Customers can shop online from US or Chinese retailers for eligible relief items and ship to their personal EasiParcel warehouse address. With warehouses in both the United States and China, customers have access to a wider selection of products and pricing options.
For US purchases: Customers can shop Amazon, Walmart, Target and other major retailers, then ship to their EasiParcel US warehouse address.
For China purchases: Customers can shop Alibaba, Taobao, AliExpress, or 1688 for bulk orders and competitive pricing, then ship to their EasiParcel China warehouse address.
Once items arrive at either warehouse, EasiParcel consolidates packages and ships them to Jamaica. Customers can then collect their tax-free relief supplies at any of EasiParcel's four convenient island locations: Spanish Town, Downtown Kingston, Half Way Tree, or Ocho Rios.
The process is simple: customers shop online from either the US or China, use their personal EasiParcel warehouse address at checkout, and collect the tax-free items at the nearest location once they arrive in Jamaica.
Dual Warehouse Advantage
EasiParcel's dual warehouse system offers unique benefits during the tax waiver period. The US warehouse provides fast air freight options for urgent needs, giving customers access to familiar brands from Amazon, Walmart, and Target with quick processing and delivery times. Meanwhile, the China warehouse offers cost-effective sea freight for bulk orders, with access to wholesale pricing on platforms like Alibaba and 1688, making it ideal for larger relief item purchases or community group orders. Both options qualify for the government's tax waiver, giving customers flexibility to choose based on their specific needs, timeline, and budget.
Eligible Relief Items
The tax waiver covers a comprehensive range of disaster relief and recovery items, providing significant savings opportunities for Jamaicans during the recovery period.
Personal Care & Hygiene: Tissues and wipes, cleaning products, diapers, toiletries, first aid kits and hygiene kits, over-the-counter drugs, sanitizers and wipes, disposable masks
Shelter & Bedding: Mattresses, bed linens, bed pads and bath linens, tarpaulins, tents, igloos, bed cots, sleeping bags
Water & Storage: Bottled water, buckets and pans (water storage containers), water purification kits (pre-approval/permit may be required)
Power & Lighting: Portable generators not exceeding 5000 watts (household use only), disposal batteries, mobile battery packs, lanterns and lamps, solar flood lights, flashlights, battery-operated radios
Construction & Repair: Ply boards, nails, zinc, basic hand tools (drills, shovels, axes, hammers, and machetes)
Clothing & Protection: Clothing, rain gear and coats, gloves, water boots
Kitchen & Household: Kitchen utensils (including non-plastic disposables, pots and pans), garbage bags, mops and brooms, fuel containers, portable stoves and butane burners
Food & Essentials: Non-perishable food items
Other Essential Items: Basic school supplies, temporary sanitation systems, repellent (pre-approval/permit may be required)
Making Relief Accessible
The combination of the government's tax waiver and EasiParcel's established international shipping infrastructure creates an unprecedented opportunity for Jamaicans to access affordable relief supplies during this critical recovery period.
With four strategically located pickup points across the island and established warehouse systems in both the US and China, EasiParcel eliminates the traditional barriers to importing essential goods. Customers benefit from the waived import taxes, competitive international pricing, and EasiParcel's transparent, reliable shipping service.
Whether ordering urgent supplies via US air freight or bulk items through China sea freight, all eligible relief items qualify for the tax waiver regardless of warehouse origin.
