The islands sit close to Florida, so the Bahamas to the United States is a busy route. We connect you with one vetted partner who ships from Nassau or Freeport to a Florida port and helps with US customs. It's free to ask.
✅ The quick answer — Tell us what you're moving and we connect you with one vetted partner. Free.
🚚 From the islands — Loaded and shipped from Nassau or Freeport.
🅼 To Florida — Miami, Port Everglades or Jacksonville, then on by road.
📋 Moving home? — Used effects can enter duty-free on CBP Form 3299.
⏱️ How long — Often just one to two weeks, given the short crossing.
The Bahamas sit just off the Florida coast, Bimini is around fifty miles out, so the United States is a natural and busy route off the islands, for people relocating, students, and families with ties on both sides. Your goods are packed and loaded in the Bahamas, sail from Nassau or Freeport, and clear customs at a Florida port such as Miami, Port Everglades or Jacksonville. The short crossing means transit is often quicker than a transatlantic move. What changes is the customs at the US end.
If you're moving to the United States, your used household and personal effects can usually enter free of duty under the US tariff, provided they've been owned and used abroad for at least a year and aren't for sale. You claim this on CBP Form 3299, the Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles, and your complete inventory serves as the packing list that CBP may ask to see, alongside the bill of lading. Some items are restricted, most meat and fresh produce can't come in, and alcohol and tobacco have limits. People moving for the first time usually need to be in the US when the shipment arrives. Your partner and a US customs broker handle the customs declaration.
The same shared and full containers, run in reverse.
Moving to the UK instead? The other main route.
How shipping is priced, both ways.
Every island and service for the Bahamas.
Your vetted partner packs and protects your goods, loads a shared or full container, and books a sailing from Nassau or Freeport to a Florida port. Because the crossing is short, transit is often just one to two weeks, plus packing before and US clearance after. Once it clears, your goods are delivered to your US address, with furniture reassembled, and onward across the States by road if needed. Weighing up the move? Start from the Bahamas hub.
Moving to the United States usually means dealing in US dollars. The Bahamian dollar is held on par with the US dollar, which keeps things simple, and for years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
Bringing a home into the US means getting the CBP paperwork right. We connect you with one partner who ships from the Bahamas and works with a US customs broker, alongside established overseas removal companies and international movers. For a full move, partners hold FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark.
