Ocean freight to Venezuela
Our ocean service to Venezuela, run as a freight forwarder since 1992, covers full container load (FCL) for commercial and industrial cargo and less than container load (LCL) for smaller volumes, typically 10 to 20 days from Miami including consolidation. Cargo is picked up by road anywhere in the United States and delivered to our Miami warehouse; origin sailings from Spain, the rest of Europe, China and South America are coordinated by us.
FCL (full container load). Exclusive use of the container, giving food and medicine shipments maximum security and efficiency.
LCL (consolidated cargo). A cost-effective way to move smaller loads while sharing container space with other importers.
Road freight. Container drayage, LTL and FTL integrate with the ocean service, door to door inland to Valencia or Caracas.
Customs support (permits checked before sailing), real-time tracking and expert logistics management are included in every service. We also move hazardous cargo with UN numbers, refrigerated cargo and oversized projects.

How to ship a container to Venezuela
1
Quote your cargo. Share origin, volume and commodity, and the rate and next sailing to Puerto Cabello come back within one business day.
2
Deliver or we pick up. Leave cargo at our Miami warehouse, or have us collect it in any state; we screen the paperwork there.
3
Sail and clear customs. We issue the bill of lading, ship your cargo and handle clearance at destination.
Shipping to Venezuela from Miami, Houston and other US states
Compliance comes first, then pickup, Miami consolidation and sailing.
Sanctions screening first
Shipping to Venezuela from the US starts with compliance, not booking. US persons follow OFAC's Venezuela Sanctions Regulations (31 CFR Part 591) and BIS export controls, so every party in the chain, from buyer to banks, is screened against the SDN List.
Food and medicine rule
OFAC states that no specific license is needed to send US-origin food or medicine, provided no SDN is involved and BIS authorizes the export. This is a checklist, not legal advice.
Pickup, consolidation and transit
Once cleared, we collect cargo in any US state, Houston and the Southeast included, and deliver to our Miami warehouse, where we consolidate food, consumer goods and spare parts into one shipment. Full containers from Miami or the East Coast reach Puerto Cabello or La Guaira in 7 to 14 days, LCL in 10 to 20 days including consolidation.
Sending food and customs
If you wonder how to send food from the USA to Venezuela, the process is the same: compliance check, documents, export filing and customs. A licensed Venezuelan customs agent files the declaration with SENIAT, and the importer needs a RIF. Duty, 16% IVA and the customs service fee are paid before release. Share origin, volume and consignee for a quote.
