Parham, on the north coast in the parish of Saint Peter, is the oldest town in Antigua. It was the island's first English settlement, established in 1632, its first harbour, and for a time the colonial capital. Its centrepiece is the remarkable St Peter's Anglican Church of 1840, a rare octagonal Georgian design with a ribbed wooden ceiling reputed to be built from a ship's timbers. Today it's a quiet fishing town, and like much of Antigua it saw heavy emigration when the sugar industry declined, so it has strong ties to family in the UK and North America.
That history shapes the shipping: Parham is barrel and returning-nationals country, with goods coming home to family. The same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs, ships and clears it, then delivers to your Parham address.
From a single barrel to a full home, here's how most people ship here.
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.

Goods for Parham clear at Deep Water Harbour, where a broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World. Ordinary barrels and shipments may attract some import duty and 15% ABST. With so many Parham families abroad, the returning-nationals concession matters here: Antiguans coming home to live bring used household and personal effects owned for a year or more in free of duty and ABST, as long as they're not for resale. Your partner and the broker handle the declaration.
From Deep Water Harbour in St John's, Parham is a short run north and east, only a few minutes out of the capital towards Parham Harbour. Your partner handles delivery and timing. Sending elsewhere on the north or east of the island? Browse every area on the Antigua and Barbuda hub.
