Barbuda is the quieter sister island, and shipping there takes two legs: goods clear at Deep Water Harbour in Antigua, then travel on by barge or ferry to Codrington. We connect you with one vetted partner who arranges both. It's free to ask.

⚓ Two legs — Clear at Deep Water Harbour in Antigua, then on by barge or ferry to Codrington.
📦 How you ship — Barrels, a shared load, or a full container for a home.
⏱️ How long — Roughly 3 to 5 weeks to Antigua, plus the short onward hop.
🏠 Coming home? — Returning nationals bring used effects in free of duty and ABST.
Barbuda is the smaller, calmer half of the country: around fifteen hundred people, a single town in Codrington, the famous frigate-bird sanctuary on the lagoon and miles of pink-tinged beaches. Since Hurricane Irma in 2017, a lot of what arrives is for rebuilding and refurnishing homes, alongside the usual family barrels and the belongings of Barbudans coming home.
The one thing to know is that Barbuda has no deep-water cargo port of its own. So shipping there is a two-leg journey: your goods first reach Antigua and clear at Deep Water Harbour, then cross to Codrington by barge or on the ferry, which takes about ninety minutes. Your vetted partner arranges both legs, so it's still one enquiry and one move for you.
Barrels and shared containers are the most common choices for Barbuda, with full containers for a home or a rebuild.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.
Shared or full 20ft and 40ft for a large load or a home.
Coming home for good? Bring used effects in under the concession.

Customs for Barbuda happens in Antigua, at Deep Water Harbour, where a broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World. Most goods may attract duty, averaging around 20% but varying, plus 15% ABST, while returning nationals bring used effects owned for a year or more in free of duty and ABST. Once cleared, your shipment is consolidated for the barge or ferry to Codrington. Building materials and furniture for a rebuild are common, and your partner plans the onward leg around the sailing so nothing waits longer than it needs to.
Almost everyone on Barbuda lives in or around Codrington, so once your goods are across from Antigua, delivery is straightforward. Tell your partner the address and they coordinate the barge or ferry timing with the final drop. Sending to Antigua as well, or instead? Browse every area on the Antigua and Barbuda hub.
