Shipping from Miami to Nassau Bahamas

The cost depends on the service (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: no surprises and no fine print. Use the quote form on this page to get a no-commitment price for your cargo. Landed cost adds Bahamas duty by HS code, a 1% customs processing fee and 10% VAT. For reference, our published LCL rate from Miami to Freeport is about $940 for 5 CBM and 1,500 kg (October 2026, excluding destination duties, taxes and local charges).

For smaller shipments, LCL (less than container load) is usually the most economical option. Your cargo shares container space with other shipments, so you only pay for the space you need. If you have enough cargo to fill a container, FCL gives you a dedicated unit. An advisor can compare both for your volume when you request a quote. LCL is billed per cubic meter or per metric ton, whichever is greater, and Miami cargo is consolidated weekly at our Miami CFS.

Yes. Interworld serves food and beverage businesses with climate-controlled options that maintain the quality and freshness of perishable goods. We also run industry programs for supermarkets and food and beverage shippers, with the documentation and handling each commodity demands. Share the products and volume in your quote request so we can confirm equipment and sailing. Some food and agricultural products need a permit from the Bahamas Ministry of Agriculture, which the clearing agent checks before shipping.

With FCL shipping, your cargo travels in a dedicated container that is not mixed with other shipments, on a direct trip to Nassau. Interworld is IATA and CTPAT certified and handles the documentation and customs clearance for the Bahamas, so the shipment moves under one team from the Miami warehouse to delivery. Nassau Container Port on Arawak Cay (BSNAS) is operated by APD Limited and has dedicated LCL and deconsolidation facilities and an onsite Customs department.

You can deliver your cargo to the Interworld warehouse at 9601 NW 112th Ave, Miami, FL 33178. If you prefer, we pick it up from your location in any state. Once the cargo is received, we issue the bill of lading, load it on the next confirmed sailing and handle clearance at destination in Nassau. The Miami to Nassau lane runs on a fixed weekly sailing, and the same service runs from Fort Lauderdale and Orlando.

Interworld prepares the core documents for you: the bill of lading (BL), the commercial invoice and the packing list. Our team has in-depth knowledge of Bahamas shipping regulations and handles everything from documentation to customs clearance. Your advisor confirms the documents for your specific cargo together with the rate and next sailing within one business day. The importer or its clearing agent needs a Click2Clear account, and the entry must be made within five days of the start of discharge, excluding Sundays and public holidays.
