What should I expect at the port?
If you choose Transpakship to handle your shipping to St. Kitts and Nevis, our agent will contact you when your goods arrive in St. Kitts and Nevis to advise what day to attend the port to commence clearance. You will require proof of ID, such as a passport or driving licence and cash for any duty and charges payable.
When you arrive at the port your goods will have been discharged from the shipping container and placed into the warehouse, and on your arrival will be placed into the Customs inspection area. Some customs officers may request a partial viewing whilst others may insist on a full turn-out, and this is at the discretion of the individual Customs official.
Whilst our agents' staff will do all they can to keep an eye on the handling of your goods during discharge, scanning and whilst in the inspection area, we do encourage you to stay close by and raise any concerns with the handlers if you feel it necessary.
Once inspection is finished you will be taken with the Customs officer to complete the clearance procedure and pay any duty and charges as necessary. You are then free to obtain a release note and take your goods from the port. If you have decided to take advantage of Transpakship's door to door shipments onward delivery will now be arranged.
