Import and export
The trade route for licensed cannabis.
Import and export sit at the centre of what GCF International does. We hold the licences, permits and logistics network required to move medical cannabis legally between Jamaica and the wider Caribbean, and into international markets where treaty and permit conditions allow. We act on behalf of licensed farmers, producers, clinics, pharmacies and distributors who do not hold those permissions themselves.
What we do
A licensed trade partner, not just a grower.
Cultivation is one part of our business. The larger part is trade. We originate product from licensed farms, take responsibility for the paperwork and permits, and deliver into regulated markets across the Caribbean and internationally. Where a customer needs product brought in rather than sent out, we run the same process in reverse.
Export from Jamaica under CLA authorisation
Import into destination markets with local receivers
Permits, certificates and customs documentation
Farmer and producer representation on both legs
For farmers and producers
Export services for licensed farms.
Many licensed Jamaican farms produce to a high standard but have no route to market beyond the island. We provide that route locally, regionally and internationally. GCF becomes the export arm of your farm, so you can concentrate on production while we return fair value to your operation.
- Export permit applications and CLA documentation
- Buyer introductions in regulated Caribbean markets
- Batch testing, COA issuance and compliant labelling
- Consolidation of smaller lots into export ready consignments
- GDP compliant storage, freight booking and in transit monitoring
- Payment, invoicing and settlement handled through a single contract
For buyers
Import services for clinics, pharmacies and distributors.
If you are licensed to receive medical cannabis but not to bring it in, we manage the import leg for you, from source verification through customs release and final delivery.
1. Source and verify
We identify licensed supply that matches your specification, then verify licences, cultivars and analytical results before anything is committed.
- Supplier licence verification
- Specification and cultivar matching
- Pre shipment Certificates of Analysis
2. Permit and clear
We prepare and file the documentation both jurisdictions require, and coordinate directly with regulators and customs authorities.
- Import and export permits
- Country specific compliance formatting
- Customs entry and duty handling
3. Deliver and document
Product moves under GDP conditions with full chain of custody, and every record is available for audit on request.
- Cold chain and humidity controlled transport
- Batch level digital registry
- Post delivery reporting and repeat supply planning
Trade corridors we operate.
Jamaica is our licensed base. From there we operate outbound and inbound movements across the region and into international markets, with local authorised receivers in each destination market. Every shipment is structured so revenue returns to the licensed Jamaican farms and producers behind the product.
- Jamaica to the Eastern Caribbean States
- Jamaica to The Bahamas, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago
- Jamaica to the Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos
- Inbound import into Jamaica for licensed processing partners
- Onward international export where treaty and permit conditions allow
Corridor availability depends on the licences held in the destination country. We confirm feasibility before any commitment is made.
Move product legally, in either direction.
Tell us where your product is, where it needs to go and which licences you hold. We will confirm the route, the permits required and the timeline, before anything ships.
