What happens if I leave my package too long in Customs?

In Jamaica package recipients are given the option to clear themselves or have DHL act as a broker. If they do not act within 14 days, the shipment is turned over to Jamaica Customs, after which the customer will need to clear the shipment from the government location (Queen’s Warehouse) as DHL no longer has jurisdiction over the package. In addition to the duties cost, the package owner will have to pay storage fees for each day the shipment spends at the Queen's warehouse.
