Choiseul, on the south-west coast, is known across St Lucia as the craft capital, the home of the island's indigenous pottery, basketry, wood carving and canoe building, kept alive at the Choiseul Arts and Craft Centre. Founded in 1765 and shaped by its Amerindian heritage at La Pointe Caribe, it's a proud, hardworking village. It's also famous for something else: Choiseulians have settled everywhere, across St Lucia and abroad, so the saying goes that wherever you are on the island, you'll find someone from Choiseul. That spread of family is exactly why Choiseul is such strong barrel and returning-nationals country.
Whether it's a single barrel for relatives or a whole household coming home, the same free service connects you with one vetted partner who packs, ships and clears it, then delivers to your Choiseul address.
Barrels and shared containers are the everyday choices, with a full container for a home move.
Clothes, food and gifts in a barrel, from around £80.

Barrel, container and car prices compared, and ways to save.
Goods for Choiseul clear at Port Castries, then travel down the south-west coast. A broker files the entry in ASYCUDA World, and ordinary barrels and shipments may attract import duty, a customs service charge and VAT at 12.5%. Returning nationals coming home 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. St Lucia has also tended to grant a Christmas barrel concession each year. Your vetted partner and the broker handle the paperwork.
From Port Castries, Choiseul is a longer run round the south of the island, past Soufrière or up from Vieux Fort, so the final leg takes a little more time. Your partner sorts the routing and times the delivery with you. Sending to nearby south-coast villages or elsewhere on the island? Browse every area on the St Lucia hub.
Sending a barrel or moving home often goes hand in hand with sending money to family. 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.
Whether it's a single barrel or a household coming home, we connect you with one partner suited to the Choiseul route and St Lucia customs, not a call centre. For full home moves, partners hold FIDI FAIM accreditation, the global benchmark for international movers, with BAR Overseas the UK marker, and a local broker clears your goods at Port Castries.
