Title: Taxation Issues in The Jamaican External Trade Sector
Abstract: This report is concerned with issues of the efficiency and revenue aspects of the current Jamaican taxes on trade,
 including tariffs, other charges, customs valuation questions, and incentives.  It also considers revenue implications
 of further Jamaican tariff liberalization through the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a member of
 the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and through the proposed Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA).
 Finally, it comments on the scope for integrating tariff reform with reforms in domestic taxes in order to
 recoup potential revenue losses and increase the efficiency of the tax system.
