Sending things from the UK to Worthing in Barbados? You're in the right place. This Worthing sits on the south coast in Christ Church, between Hastings and St Lawrence Gap, not the town in West Sussex. Goods clear at the Port of Bridgetown and reach you after a short south-coast drive.

📍 Where it clears — At the Port of Bridgetown to the west, then a short south-coast run to your Worthing address.
Worthing is a relaxed south-coast spot known for its beach, lagoon and rows of apartments and condos, popular with expats and long-stay visitors. Apartment and whole-home moves are the everyday work here. Tell us what's going and we'll match you with one vetted mover. Asking is free.
For Worthing, most people send a barrel, or a container for a whole home. Go with what matches your move; each guide points back here.
Worthing shipments clear at the Barbados Revenue Authority's Port of Bridgetown a short drive west, so customs and any examination happen there before the quick south-coast delivery. Anything owned and used for a year or more comes in free of import duty, whereas new purchases attract 5% to 60% duty, a 1% environmental levy and 17.5% VAT. Keep your ID and paperwork handy; clearance usually takes three to five working days.
Moving back to stay? Barbados offers a Returning National scheme with added concessions, reserved at full level for nationals aged 50 or over who have spent ten years or more overseas. Most won't rely on it, because used belongings owned a year come in duty-free anyway. Cars differ: duty, excise and VAT apply, even though left-hand driving suits a UK car. The returning nationals and car shipping guides explain it.
A barrel to Worthing can start from around £60, while a full container for a home runs into a few thousand pounds. Close to Bridgetown, the onward charge along the south coast is small and your mover includes it upfront.
Two things keep costs down: send only what matters, and pack each barrel tight but within weight. For a home, a shared container is cheaper than a sole-use one but takes a little longer to fill. The cost of shipping to Barbados guide lays out the numbers.
Most Worthing moves involve changing money at some stage, for a property or settling in. The Barbados dollar is pegged to the US dollar, keeping rates steady, but you'll still want value on the pounds you change. We've long steered customers to trusted partners who handle any currency.
