Shipping from Fort Lauderdale to Nassau Bahamas

The rate depends on the service you choose (FCL, LCL, RoRo or breakbulk), the volume and commodity, and the next available sailing. Interworld confirms your rate and next sailing within one business day, with a clear breakdown from the first email and no fine print. Use the quote form on this page with your origin, volume and commodity to get a no-commitment price. Bahamas Customs assesses duty by HS code, plus a 1% processing fee and 10% VAT, all paid through Click2Clear before release.

Yes. You can drop your cargo at the Interworld warehouse at 9601 NW 112th Ave in Miami, or we collect it from your location, since pickup is available in any state. From there we issue the bill of lading, ship the cargo to Nassau and handle clearance at destination, so pickup, paperwork and delivery stay with one team. The fixed weekly Miami to Nassau lane also runs from Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.

Yes. RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) service is built for wheeled cargo such as vehicles, trailers and machinery, with straightforward loading and less handling time. For oversized or non-containerized cargo, like large machinery, construction materials and heavy equipment that does not fit a standard container, breakbulk shipping covers everything from packaging to secure transit to Nassau. RoRo from the USA to the Bahamas takes 3 to 6 days.

Interworld prepares the core documents for you: the bill of lading (BL), the commercial invoice and the packing list. Our team also manages the Bahamas customs paperwork and regulatory requirements needed for clearance in Nassau. When you request a quote, the advisor confirms which documents your specific cargo needs together with the rate and next sailing. A licensed clearing agent files the Bahamas entry through Click2Clear within five days of the start of discharge, excluding Sundays and public holidays.

Yes. Interworld runs ocean freight, air freight, RoRo, customs and door-to-door delivery to the Bahamas with one team from Miami. That means pickup in Fort Lauderdale, documentation, the sailing and clearance in Nassau are coordinated by the same people, instead of splitting the job between a trucker, a carrier and a customs broker. After Customs releases the cargo, delivery continues from Nassau Container Port on Arawak Cay or by inter-island boat to the out islands.

Interworld Freight is a global freight forwarder headquartered in Miami since 1992 and serving shippers in Fort Lauderdale, with offices in Panama and the Dominican Republic as well.

Interworld also has its own office in the Bahamas, alongside the offices in the USA, Panama and the Dominican Republic, so Nassau clearance has local backing.
