Ocean freight to the Bahamas

We have operated ocean freight to the Bahamas as a freight forwarder since 1992. Ocean service covers full container load (FCL) for commercial and industrial cargo and less than container load (LCL) when you ship smaller volumes. We pick up cargo anywhere in the United States by road to our Miami warehouse, and coordinate origin sailings from Spain, the rest of Europe, China and South America.
FCL (full container load). A container reserved for your cargo: maximum security and efficiency for furniture and fixtures.
LCL (consolidated cargo). Cost-effective for smaller loads such as store restocks, sharing the container with other shippers.
Road freight. Container drayage, LTL and FTL tied into the ocean service, door to door, even to island ports.
Every shipment gets customs support for Click2Clear, live tracking and expert logistics handling. We also move hazardous cargo with UN numbers, refrigerated cargo and oversized projects.

Frequently asked questions about shipping to the Bahamas

How long does it take to ship a container to the Bahamas?+
Miami → Nassau: 7-10 days. Fort Lauderdale → Freeport: 5-7 days. Miami → Freeport: 5-8 days. Orlando → Nassau (LCL): 10-14 days. These are estimated ocean transit times; when you request a quote we confirm the next weekly sailing and the estimated arrival date. Customs clearance is filed by a licensed clearing agent in Click2Clear, where duty, the 1% processing fee and 10% VAT are settled before release.
What documents do I need to ship to the Bahamas?+
You need a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading, with the entry filed on Bahamas Customs' Click2Clear platform within 5 days (excluding Sundays and holidays) of the start of discharge. Goods imported for business also require a current Business Licence. A clearing agent with a broker licence and bond files for you, though individuals may self-file. We prepare them for you and handle customs clearance at destination, so no missing paper holds your cargo.
FCL or LCL to the Bahamas: which should I choose?+
Choose LCL for pallet loads and FCL for full containers such as furniture or building supplies. The published Miami to Freeport LCL lane is about $940 for 5 CBM, and out-island lanes run $840 to $1,115. Either way, each entry pays duty, the 1% processing fee (minimum $10, maximum $1,500) and 10% VAT on the duty-inclusive value. Not sure? Tell us what you are shipping and we recommend the format with the best total cost.
Can I ship household goods or a full move to the Bahamas?+
Yes, but household goods pay duty and 10% VAT through Click2Clear unless a concession applies. Bahamians who lived or worked abroad for two years or more can apply for relief on used personal effects and a vehicle valued up to $30,000, reviewed in about 24 to 48 hours. Bring your passport, an itemized list of used effects and the vehicle title. We move personal items, household goods and full relocations, with customs and documentation handled door to door.
Which the Bahamas ports do you ship to?+
We serve Nassau, Freeport, Marsh Harbour, with customs clearance handled at each one and inland delivery coordinated to the final destination if you need it. Nassau Container Port on Arawak Cay (BSNAS) and Freeport Container Port on Grand Bahama (BSFPO) handle most containerized freight, and Marsh Harbour on Abaco receives weekly freight boats.
