Pre-Arrival

Pre-Arrival Documentation and Coordination

Most delays at destination start with missing paperwork. Send documents early so we can confirm requirements with you before the vessel arrives.

Documents we typically request

  • Bill of lading (original or telex release)
  • Detailed packing inventory
  • Owner's passport or identification
  • Residency, work-permit or other status documents, where applicable
  • Delivery address, building contact and access details

Requirements vary by shipment and owner status and are confirmed per file.

Container Unloading, Box Truck Transportation and Residential Delivery

Container unloading

Unloading at the residence where access allows, or at a suitable location for transfer.

Box truck transportation

Box truck shuttles where streets or driveways cannot take a full container.

Residential delivery

Delivery scheduled with the owner and confirmed back to the origin agent.

Condos, High-Rise Apartments and Restricted-Access Properties

Gated communities, condominiums and high-rise buildings often have their own rules. We plan these deliveries in advance:

  • Elevator and loading-dock bookings
  • Building delivery windows and security sign-in
  • Any paperwork the building management requires
  • Vehicle size limits and parking arrangements

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TradeBridge Logistics a licensed customs broker?

No. TradeBridge Logistics coordinates customs clearance for household goods shipments and works through licensed Bahamas customs brokers for the formal entry.

What documents do you need before the shipment arrives?

Typically the bill of lading, a detailed packing inventory and the owner's identification, plus residency, work-permit or other status documents where applicable. Exact requirements depend on the shipment and the owner's status, and we confirm them during pre-arrival coordination.

Will the owner have to pay duty?

Duty treatment, and whether any concession applies, is determined by Bahamas Customs based on the owner's status and the goods. We help prepare the information Customs requires but cannot guarantee a duty outcome.

Can you deliver to condos or high-rise apartments?

Yes, with advance planning. Share the building details early so we can review elevator bookings, loading-dock times, certificates the building may require and any access restrictions before the delivery date.

Which areas do you deliver to?

We are based in Nassau and deliver across New Providence. For Family Island destinations, send us the details and we will review what is possible for that shipment.

How do we request a destination quote?
