📦 How you ship — Barrels, a shared load, a full container, or a car.

🏠 Coming home? — Returning nationals bring effects and a vehicle in free of duty.
Castries is home to roughly a third of everyone in St Lucia, and it's the commercial heart of the island, from the bustle of Castries Market and the twin-towered Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception to the shaded benches of Derek Walcott Square. For anyone shipping in, it has one big advantage: the island's main commercial seaport, Port Castries, sits right in the city. Your barrel, container or household move clears there and has only a short hop to your address, which makes Castries the busiest spot on the island for both family barrels going home and full container relocations.
Whether you're sending a few boxes to family near the city, moving back to a home in 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 full home, here's how most people ship to the capital.
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.

Because Port Castries is in the city, customs and collection happen in one place. A local broker files your entry in ASYCUDA World, and most goods may attract import duty, a customs service charge and VAT at 12.5%. Returning nationals coming back to live bring household and personal effects in free of customs duty, enough to furnish a home, plus one vehicle free of duty up to a set value. Your vetted partner and the broker sort the paperwork, and the short distance from quay to door keeps the final step simple.
From the port, your goods reach addresses across Castries quickly, whether that's in the city centre, up around Morne Fortuné and the Vigie ridge, or in the residential suburbs that ring the harbour. Tell your partner the full address and they handle access and timing. Heading elsewhere on the island? Browse every area on the St Lucia hub.
Settling in the capital usually means changing money as well as shipping. 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.
We connect you with one partner suited to Castries and the St Lucia route, not a call centre or a stack of quotes. For full household moves, partners hold FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark for international movers, with BAR Overseas the UK marker, and they clear your goods with a local broker at Port Castries, a stone's throw from most city addresses.
