Gouyave, the main town of St John on the west coast, is Grenada's liveliest fishing community, famous for its Friday-night street party, Fish Friday, and for the big nutmeg processing station that anchors the spice trade here. It's a proud, close-knit town with deep local roots and families spread across St George's, the UK and the United States, the kind of place where a barrel home is a fixture. That makes it firmly barrel and returning-national country.
Whether it's a single barrel or a household coming home, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs and ships from the UK, clears the goods and runs them up the coast to Gouyave.
From a single barrel to a whole home, here's how most people ship to the island.
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 programme.

Goods for Gouyave clear at the Port of St George's, run by the Grenada Ports Authority. A broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World, and ordinary shipments may attract import duty under the CARICOM tariff, plus VAT at 15% and a 6% customs service charge on the landed value, with an environmental levy on vehicles and white goods. If you're a returning national, the Welcome Home Programme brings used household effects in free of duty, VAT and the service charge up to 75,000 East Caribbean dollars, with a 50 per cent concession on one vehicle, arranged through the Returning Nationals Facilitation Bureau at the Ministry of Finance. Your vetted partner and the broker handle the paperwork.
Goods clear at the Port of St George's, then travel up the west coast to Gouyave, so the final leg stays on the main island. Your vetted partner times the delivery with you and handles access at your address. Shipping to another town or island? Browse every area on the Grenada hub.
Sending a barrel or moving home often goes hand in hand with sending money. The local currency is the East Caribbean 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.
