Ocean freight to Honduras
Since 1992 we have forwarded ocean cargo to Honduras. Full container load (FCL), for commercial and industrial cargo, takes 3 to 7 days from Miami to Puerto Cortés; less than container load (LCL), for smaller volumes, takes 7 to 14 days. Our trucks pick up in any US state and unload at our Miami warehouse, and we line up origin departures from South America, China, Spain and elsewhere in Europe.
FCL (full container load). You alone use the container, which gives the highest security and efficiency for full loads.
LCL (consolidated cargo). Smaller loads travel cost-effectively in shared container space, consolidated in Miami.
Road freight. Container drayage, LTL and FTL trucking joined to the sea leg, with delivery door to door to San Pedro Sula.
Every shipment carries customs support with a licensed agent, real-time tracking and expert logistics management. We also move hazardous cargo with UN numbers, refrigerated cargo and oversized projects.

Buy from the US and ship to Honduras: the Miami to Puerto Cortés lane
Miami is the consolidation point for purchases from US suppliers bound for Honduras.
Collection and checks
If you buy from US suppliers and ship to Honduras, Miami is the consolidation point. We collect from vendors in any state, including Texas, and receive goods at our Miami warehouse, where each packing list is checked against its invoice. Several purchases ship in one container to Puerto Cortés (HNPCR), the largest port, about 60 km from San Pedro Sula.
Transit and short-sea lane
By sea, a full container needs 3 to 7 days from Miami to Puerto Cortés, while LCL needs 7 to 14. It is one of the busiest short-sea lanes in the Caribbean basin, with frequent sailings from Florida and the US East Coast. Under about 15 CBM, consolidated LCL means you pay only for the space used.
Air and customs filing
Urgent items can fly to San Pedro Sula in 1 to 3 days. On arrival, a licensed Honduran customs agent files the DUCA in SARAH. US goods that meet CAFTA-DR rules enter duty free with a certificate of origin, and Honduran customs reviews that certificate closely, so every field must be right before the cargo ships.
ISV and trucking
A 15% sales tax (ISV) still applies. From the port, trucks reach San Pedro Sula, the Sula Valley or Tegucigalpa.
