How to Ship from The UK to Jamaica?

What Countries Make Up the Caribbean?

Before you contact any of the Caribbean shipping companies, you should familiarise yourself with the list of countries that make up the Caribbean. The majority of Caribbean countries, including those listed below, are served by Easyship. Most people believe these locales to be paradise-like vacation spots, but just like anywhere else, these places require supplies, and residents will put personal orders online.

• Cuba
• Haiti
• Dominican Republic
• Puerto Rico
• Jamaica
• Trinidad
• Tobago
• Guyana
• Suriname
• Guadeloupe
• Martinique
• Bahamas
• Belize
• Barbados
• St. Lucia
• Curaçao
• Aruba
• Virgin Islands
• Grenada
• Antigua and Barbuda Dominica

1. What Can and Cannot Be Shipped to Jamaica

When opting to export home items to Jamaica, the rst and most crucial concern is what exactly they may ship from London. To be more specic, we ship practically everything at Carib Shipping. But there is, of course, an exception!

The list of goods that can be found in a home might be quite long. It could be anything from the kitchen to the bathroom, as well as perishable and nonperishable products. As a result, it's a valid question to inquire what kind of items are restricted from being shipped.

Every object that poses a threat to one's life is prohibited. This contains things that are ammable, corrosive, or explosive. Furthermore, fresh fruits and vegetables, food that requires refrigeration, and baked goods cannot be shipped. In general, you get an indication of what you can transport from London to Jamaica.

Here's a list of certain products that are prohibited from being shipped to the Caribbean, including:

• Animals
• Cash
• Dangerous goods
• Drugs
• Firearms
• Ivory
• Loose gemstones

 

2. Check Paperwork

The second most crucial step is to get your international shipping paperwork in order.

You'll have to ll out paperwork depending on where you're sending and what you're shipping. The Certicate of Origin and Shipper's Export Declaration are two of the most frequent forms for international shipment.

A few things will need to be prepared to disclose regardless of which form you use. Governments will want to know what you're sending, how much you're carrying, how much the cargo is worth, and whether you're shipping anything hazardous. Keep in mind that the best policy is, to be honest. It would be best if you didn't try to deceive the US government or a foreign government. Not only is it a fast way to be shut down, but it's also against the law.

If you're still doubtful about whether or not you can ship this item through us, you can contact us directly to nd out.

3. Your Shipment to Jamaica Is Covered by Insurance

Accidents happen even when you use the greatest shipping and logistics providers. So, the third step is to make sure your shipment is insured.

The legal liability standard for the transportation sector covers everything you ship domestically or internationally - but depending on the type of goods you're transporting and how much it's worth, acquiring additional insurance may be in your best interest.

Around the world, one out of every ten packages arrive broken or incomplete. Plus, we all know some will boldly take a package from your porch.

This is the one area where the shipment sender gets perplexed. First, you can only claim insurance if you sign and mail the insurance declaration form to Carib Shipping, which means you cannot claim the insurance on items you have not completed and emailed the document.

Secondly, consider how and when you can le a claim for your insurance. When you've informed the company about the insurance declaration and the entire barrel, drum, or cargo box is lost, you can le a claim. This begs the question of why you can't get your insurance in the rst place.

So, if you lose a single household item from the entire box that you were transporting to Jamaica, you will not be able to make a claim. Similarly, you cannot claim insurance if only one item is broken. The same can be said regarding the late delivery of your household items from London to Jamaica. The only time insurance is required when the entire barrel, box, or drum is lost. If you paid the premium while lling out the insurance declaration form, you might be eligible for a claim of up to £300, depending on the worth of the barrel's contents.

While all of these are reasonable worries, and unanticipated disasters sometimes occur, there is a reason why we are a popular choice for sending gifts and other household supplies to Jamaica in the UK.

This could be because we specialize in shipping to the Caribbean, giving us a broad understanding of keeping everything running well. That's why we live by the motto that your products only have to reach, and we'll take care of the rest. To read more on our insurance policies, click here!

4. Select A Shipping Container

The shipment's packing is quite important. You understand why; therefore, imagine sending broken or damaged household things to your loved ones in Jamaica. You can't blame them; after all, they've come from London, right? You realize that the only way out is to carefully pack the things following the nature of the product. Some household objects are delicate, while others do not necessitate extensive wrapping.

Carib Shipping does not currently offer packing services. As a result, you must be extremely cautious when sending your household goods to us.

That nowhere, however, implies that they will abandon you in the middle of nowhere. We supply packing materials that are appropriate for the type of your household item. This deal, however, does not apply to online reservations. How are the packaging materials sent? We'll deliver the packaging materials along with the cargo rider, who'll be collecting up the cargo from you as well. This means the driver will wait for the rider to join them in conversation as you pack your luggage.

That doesn't imply you have to hand the parcel over to the rider straight away. If you think packaging the household item will take too long, you can have the rider pick it up later.

5. Be Smart with Your Packing Choices

Making sure you have the correct packing goods is the most critical element of wrapping up your items. If you've ever wondered why people favour boxes, it's because they make keeping your sensitive stuff protected a lot easier.

Having said that, you don't want a box that's too large for your items. You have to make sure the box you purchase is large enough to wrap the item in protective packing but not so large that it bounces around inside the box.

The most important thing you can do to ensure that your fragile item arrives in one piece is to make sure you have the correct packing materials. It's worth investing the time and money to acquire a large roll of bubble wrap, so you don't have to make compromises.

If your package is being delivered over a signicant distance, keep in mind how moisture can impact or threaten your fragile delivery. If in doubt, consider using a plastic bag or shrink-wrap to keep moisture out of the package.

The greater the distance your package must go, the more times it will be handled. This means it has a higher chance of being dropped, exposed to the elements, or scuffed. Consider adding an extra layer of wrapping and tape to your parcel if it will be exposed to a lengthier voyage. This will ensure that it remains safe throughout the trip
