Notes

To use MyMalls Economy, you must authorize Miracle Brokers to act as their customs agent and ensure a valid TIN is provided.


The Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control (CBC) requires a one-time authorization before importing goods via any courier service.
This authorization links your shipments to your individual importer account.

To apply:

  • Register and obtain your importer number.

  • Provide this authorization to DHL, FedEx, or UPS before your first import to prevent clearance delays.

Once approved, the authorization remains valid for all future shipments.


Special Handling Considerations

Certain products may be subject to restrictions or additional documentation requirements, such as:

  • Cosmetics and beauty products containing alcohol

  • Perfumes, aerosols, and pressurized containers

  • Electronics with batteries

  • Food supplements or perishables

If your package contains restricted or hazardous items, MyMalls can:

  • Remove prohibited items and ship the rest

  • Return restricted items to the sender

  • Hold them for pickup at the MyMalls facility

Always review MyMalls’ Prohibited Items Guide before shipping.


Cayman Brac & Little Cayman

Deliveries to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are available through DHL, FedEx, and UPS with certain limitations:

  • Delivery times may extend by 1–3 additional business days due to inter-island transfer schedules.

  • Some services require pickup from a local handling agent instead of direct doorstep delivery.

  • Customs clearance is completed in Grand Cayman before transfer to the Sister Islands.

For urgent shipments, use DHL Express or FedEx Priority to minimize transit time.


Tax and Duties

Shipments to the Cayman Islands are delivered Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU).
This means import duties and taxes are payable by the receiver upon delivery.
Duty rates vary depending on product category and value; for official guidelines, visit the Cayman Islands Customs & Border Control website.
