Shipping from the UK to Hastings? You're in the right place. Hastings sits on the south coast in Christ Church, just south-east of Bridgetown, so goods clear at the Port of Bridgetown close by and reach you after a short hop along the coast road.

A single barrel to Hastings can start from around £60, with a full container for a home running into a few thousand pounds. Sitting close to Bridgetown, the onward road charge is small, and your mover includes it in the quote.
| Option | Best for | Guide price from |
|---|---|---|
| Single barrel | Clothes, food, gifts | around £60 |
| Part load / boxes | A few items of furniture | by volume |
| Groupage (shared) container | A small home, shared space | cheaper per item |
| Full 20ft or 40ft container | A whole home | a few thousand pounds |
To spend less, ship less, and fill each barrel without going over the weight your mover suggests. On a full home, sharing a container beats booking one outright, though it sails once full. The cost of shipping to Barbados guide sets the options side by side.
Hastings is one of the busiest parts of the south coast, lined with condos, apartments and restaurants along the Hastings Rocks boardwalk. It's a favourite with expats and long-stay residents, so apartment and whole-home moves are common. Tell us what you're sending and we'll connect you with one vetted mover. It's free to ask.
Hastings runs along the south-coast boardwalk, a short drive south-east of Bridgetown on Highway 7. Goods clear at the port nearby, then reach your address in minutes. Many homes here are condos and apartment blocks, so a mover will check lift access, parking and any building rules before delivery day.
Hastings pulls expats and long-stay residents moving into south-coast condos, families sending barrels, and returning nationals settling near the capital. Goods clear at the Port of Bridgetown just up the road, so the onward leg is among the shortest on the island.
Moving to Hastings usually involves some currency, from a deposit to everyday cash. With the Barbados dollar fixed to the US dollar, local prices stay stable, yet a fair rate on your sterling matters. For years we've connected customers with trusted partners who deal in any currency.
Hastings goods clear at the Barbados Revenue Authority's Port of Bridgetown, only a short drive west, so clearance and any examination are dealt with quickly before the brief south-coast delivery. Goods you've owned and used for at least a year clear free of import duty; new items are charged 5% to 60% duty plus a 1% environmental levy and 17.5% VAT. Bring ID and your shipping documents, and reckon on three to five working days for clearance.
Settling back permanently? The island's Returning National scheme adds concessions, but full entitlement is limited to Barbadians 50 or over with a decade-plus abroad. For most it isn't needed, as a year's ownership already brings used effects in free. A vehicle is handled apart, with import duty, excise and VAT, though a UK car fits the left-hand roads. See the returning nationals and car shipping guides.
Sending to more than one place? Start at the Barbados hub for every area and service, or choose a neighbour below. Each clears at the Port of Bridgetown.
