Not sure which mode fits?
Send Dani your cargo, weight and Bahamian destination and he prices the options that apply.
Container options on the Florida lanes
FCL: full container load

LCL: less than container load
Your cargo shares container space with other shipments and you pay only for the space you need.
RoRo: roll-on/roll-off
Wheeled cargo such as vehicles, trailers and machinery, driven on and off the vessel.
Breakbulk
Oversized or irregular cargo that cannot be containerized, such as large machinery and construction materials.
Where we deliver
Freight forwarder for Nassau, Freeport and the out islands
Interworld Freight moves cargo to the Bahamas from our Miami headquarters, with ocean, air and RoRo service to Nassau, Freeport and Marsh Harbour and door-to-door delivery in nine Bahamian towns.
Nassau Container Port at Arawak Cay, on New Providence, is the principal commercial gateway. Freeport Container Port on Grand Bahama is a deep-water facility serving the Freeport Free Trade Zone, and Marsh Harbour, in the Abaco Islands, is the shipping point for goods going to the northern Bahamas.
Cargo for the out islands usually reaches Nassau first and continues on inter-island freight boats: an extra leg, with its own transit and handling, to plan for when your delivery point is not New Providence or Grand Bahama.

Customs and paperwork
Bahamas customs clearance, handled before your cargo lands
What Bahamas Customs checks on every import, and what we prepare with you so goods clear without holds.
Core documents
A commercial invoice with value and description, the bill of lading, a packing list and, for certain goods, certificates of origin.
Duty on the CIF value
Duty is calculated on the CIF value (goods, insurance and freight) at a rate set by product category, so each item needs the correct HS code.
VAT and levies
VAT is charged on the CIF value plus duty, and some goods, such as vehicles and electronic devices, carry an extra environmental levy.
Restricted goods
Firearms and ammunition need specific licenses, hazardous chemicals need prior authorization, and some plants, seeds and foods need import permits.
Licensed customs broker
Declarations are filed on Click2Clear, the Bahamas Customs electronic system for entries and duty payment, normally by a licensed customs broker.
Vehicles, moves and events
Vehicles need title or registration documents, household moves a passport copy and proof of residence, and event gear clears as a temporary import.
