The route comes first

Our main focus is shipping from the UK to the Caribbean. If your shipment starts in Saint Lucia, tell us where it needs to go. We will check the route, goods and work required before confirming what can be offered.

Put the place in the picture

Saint Lucia is the country.
Where is the receiver?

A town or area helps describe the intended destination. Add the actual address when you know it; a place name alone does not confirm collection, delivery or a handover point.

01 /

Castries

For a receiver in Castries, add the address and a contact who can explain access to the intended receiving place.

Have the address ready
02 /

Gros Islet

If the receiving area is Gros Islet, give the specific location rather than relying on the town name alone.

Be specific about the location
03 /

Rodney Bay

For Rodney Bay, note the intended property or business and any access questions the receiver still needs to check.

Record the access questions
04 /

Vieux Fort

If the receiver is in Vieux Fort, keep their contact details, receiving address and shipment description together.

Connect the receiver and cargo

Receiving somewhere else in Saint Lucia? Use the actual area in your enquiry. These examples are place references, not a service-coverage list.

Start with the cargo

A few boxes or a home move?
Start with what you need.

Choose the help that fits your shipment to Saint Lucia. Tell us what is moving, where collection begins and what needs particular care. We will review the route and agree the work with you.

Packing, access and the amount you are sending can affect the cost. See what shapes a shipping quotation.

Prepare both ends

A clearer plan starts at both ends.

01

Access at collection

Have the collection address ready. Note the floor, stairs or lifts, parking restrictions and any long walk to the vehicle. Mention large items that may be difficult to move through doorways.

02

Someone ready to receive

Speak to the person receiving your belongings in Saint Lucia. Check their name, contact details and intended receiving address, then ask what they know about access and any arrangements needed at their end.

03

One useful item list

List the goods or packages and keep it up to date if your plans change. Add quantities, dimensions and items needing extra care. Match package labels to the list so you and the receiver can identify the same belongings.

Current authority checks

Check what applies to the actual goods.

Official guidance owns the import and export requirements. The enquiry organises practical details, but it does not decide declarations, eligibility, permits, concessions, duties, taxes or clearance.

Import preparation in Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia Customs identifies invoices and a transport record among the records used to prepare an entry. Confirm which declaration form, permit, licence or certificate of origin applies to the actual goods and who is authorised to submit it.

Returning-national household effects

Customs publishes separate conditions for returning nationals and household effects. Check eligibility, arrival timing, qualifying goods, evidence and current concession conditions directly with the authority; this page does not determine or calculate any concession.

Saint Lucia questions

Useful answers before you decide.

Can you collect from my UK address and deliver to a home in Saint Lucia?

Yes. Our full service covers packing and collection, with destination agents to assist with paperwork, collect the goods at the port and deliver to your home. Give us both addresses and explain access so the quotation sets out the work for your move. You can choose shipping to port or handle your own paperwork if you prefer.

How much will shipping to Saint Lucia cost?

The route, amount you are sending, packing and access help shape the quotation. Describe the goods and add measurements or an inventory so the team can review the work. Ask which collection, shipping and destination charges are included, and which are not. Read about shipping costs and quotations.

How long should I allow for the shipment?

Share your preferred collection dates and when you need your belongings. Ask what period an estimate covers: packing and collection, the sea journey, or the final handover. A preferred date or general planning estimate is not a confirmed sailing, arrival or delivery date.

What does the receiver need to arrange?

The receiver should know what is coming and have the intended receiving address and a clear package or item list. Once the route is agreed, confirm who handles the customs requirements, how the receiver will be contacted and what they need to do before handover. Use the official guidance linked above for the current authority requirements.

Do returning nationals automatically receive customs relief?

No. Saint Lucia Customs decides eligibility and the current concession conditions. Check the official returning-national guidance for your circumstances before relying on any relief. This website does not decide entitlement or calculate duties.

What if my shipment starts in Saint Lucia?

Tell us the receiving country and what needs to move. The team will check that direction separately; information about UK-to-Saint Lucia shipping does not confirm the same arrangements for a reverse journey. Ask about a route from Saint Lucia.
