A practical overview for movers, forwarders and their customers shipping household goods to Nassau. Duty treatment is decided by Bahamas Customs for each shipment — contact us to review your specific case before the goods ship.
Share the packing inventory and the customer's status (for example returning resident, new resident or work-permit holder) with us early. This helps confirm which documents are required and avoids delays at the port.
Whether duty applies — and whether any concession is available — depends on the owner's status and the goods, and is determined by Bahamas Customs. We'll help prepare the entry and explain what Customs requires.
Once released, we truck the container and arrange delivery to the residence on a scheduled date.
Send the shipment details and documents, and our Nassau team will review the requirements and respond.
