Which container suits your move

If you're sending more than a few barrels, a container is usually the answer. A shared, or groupage, container lets several customers split one box, so you pay only for the space your goods take, ideal for part of a home. A full container, a sole-use 20ft or 40ft, suits a whole household, works out better value by volume, and can carry a car alongside the furniture. A quick pre-move survey, in person or by video, sizes your load so you're quoted the right option.

Either way, one vetted partner packs and protects your goods, loads the container, books the sailing and clears it at the Port of Port of Spain.

📋 The shipping paperwork, explained

The documents that move with your goods

Container shipping runs on a few key documents, and your partner prepares them with you. The commercial invoice sets out the value of your goods; the packing list and inventory record what's in the box; and the bill of lading is the carrier's receipt and contract for the voyage. At the islands end, a broker uses these to file the customs declaration in ASYCUDA World. Getting them right and matching is what keeps a container moving through the port without delay.

📄 Customs clearance for a container

Clearing at Port of Spain or Point Lisas

Your container clears at the Port of Port of Spain, the country's main port, with Point Lisas handling heavier loads. A broker files the customs declaration in ASYCUDA World against your invoice and packing list. Ordinary household goods may attract import duty under the CARICOM tariff, up to 20 per cent, plus VAT at 12.5% on the landed value. Returning nationals bring used effects in within the allowance. For Tobago, your partner arranges the onward inter-island freight to Scarborough.
