Common Questions

Can I bring my furniture and personal belongings into The Bahamas?

Yes, household goods and personal effects can be imported. Whether duty or other charges apply depends on your residency status, the items and Bahamas Customs rules at the time. We help you prepare the documents; the final assessment is made by Bahamas Customs.

Are you a licensed customs broker?

No. We coordinate the clearance process for you and work through licensed Bahamas customs brokers for the formal customs entry.

What should I prepare before my shipment arrives?

Usually the bill of lading, a detailed packing list or inventory, your passport or ID, and any residency or work-permit papers. Send what you have and we will confirm what else is needed for your situation.

My moving company is handling the shipment. Do I still contact you?

You can. If your moving company needs a Bahamas destination agent, they can contact us directly, and we will coordinate with them on your behalf.
