Nassau, on New Providence, is home to around seven in ten Bahamians and is the commercial heart of the country, from the bustle of Bay Street and the Straw Market to the cruise port and the bridges over to Paradise Island. For anyone shipping in, it has one big advantage: the Nassau Container Port, on Arawak Cay, sits right in the city, so your barrel, container or household move clears there and has only a short hop to your address. That makes Nassau the busiest place in the islands for both family barrels and full container relocations.
Whether you're sending a few boxes to family, moving back to the capital, or relocating a whole household, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who handles it end to end.
From a single barrel to a whole home, here's how most people ship to the islands.
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 effects and a vehicle in under the concession.

Goods for Nassau clear at the Nassau Container Port on Arawak Cay, right in the city. A broker files the entry in Click2Clear, and ordinary shipments may attract import duty, which varies by item, plus VAT at 10%, a 1% customs processing fee and an environmental levy on the landed value. If you're a returning resident, a Bahamian or permanent resident home to live after at least 24 months away, you can bring used household effects in free of duty up to 10,000 dollars, plus one vehicle up to 30,000 dollars, with Ministry of Finance approval, once every five years. Your vetted partner and the broker handle the paperwork.
From the port on Arawak Cay, your goods reach addresses right across New Providence quickly, from downtown Nassau to the eastern and western suburbs. Your vetted partner times the delivery with you and handles access at your address. Shipping to another island or town? Browse every area on the Bahamas hub.
Sending a barrel or moving home often goes hand in hand with sending money. The Bahamian dollar is held on par with the US dollar. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who handle any currency, so the money side is simple and fair. It's offered through our partners, with no hidden fees.
Whether it's a barrel or a full home, we connect you with one partner suited to the Nassau route and Bahamas customs, not a call centre. We work hand in hand with established overseas removal companies and international movers, the moving companies in our network, so for a full relocation you get a mover holding FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark, with BAR Overseas the UK marker, and a broker clears your goods in the Bahamas.
