If you have goods that you need shipping to Antigua or shipping to Dominica which is 118 miles further south, there are companies here that specialise in shipping to the Caribbean islands.
It is always best to use a company that specialises because they will be able to tell you what you can and can't ship to the islands, as many of them have different rules and regulations. For instance, you are not allowed to import furs into Antigua and you may not import anything made of Liberian wood! Furthermore, the shipping company itself may have some items that it will not ship, and common among these are cash, jewellery and precious stones, ammunition, and live animals.
Most of the shipping companies that ship to Antigua and Dominica will act as a receiving depot for goods which means that they can carry out consolidation into a container for you. This will mean that you can save quite a bit of money on shipping costs. Of course, if you are a manufacturer or distributor and need to ship commercial items you may need your own container, or even more than one. However, if you only need to ship a couple of pallets at a time they can also be consolidated.
Most of the shipping companies will also be able to ship cargo by air freight as well, if you need your goods to arrive quickly. You really need to contact two or three different shippers to ascertain the best one for your needs.
