Factors That Affect the Cost of Shipping

The factors that affect the cost of shipping a container to Saint Kitts and Nevis are:

The Volume/Weight of the Goods

Sea shipping is more interested in the size of the goods while air freight deals mostly with the weight of the goods. The weight or volume of your goods will tell the type of shipping you should use.

Type of Transport

The mode of transportation depicts the time and cost it will take to deliver your goods to their destination.

The Distance of the Journey

Ideally, international shipments covering long distances are more expensive than a short-distance trip. Therefore, distance determines shipping costs.

The Destination Port

The customs tariffs and service costs for imported products are unavoidable. Saint Kitts and Nevis have a VAT of 17% for imported goods.

The Time of the Year

December to April is the peak season in Saint Kitts and Nevis. However, the best time for shipping is between May and June.

Which Size of Shipping Container Will Work Best for Me?

20ft and 40ft containers are the two types of containers that are most traditionally used when it comes to international shipments.

How Big is a 20ft Container?

A 20ft container has the ability to store the contents of a three-bedroom home, or about the size of an average garage.

How Big is a 40ft Container?

A 40ft container affords you double the space of a 20ft container with just a fraction of the expense. It is good value for money for customers with large cargos.

The Difference Between FCL and LCL

A "Less Than Container Load" (LCL) is a system designed by us for persons with small cargo volumes to share a container.

A "Full Container Loads" (FCL) is a situation whereby a customer is using an entire container because his belongings exceed that of a one-bedroom apartment.

Understanding the Different Types of Freight Transportation

The information below will help you make a choice on the mode of transportation to use:

Sea Freight

Saint Kitts and Nevis have just one sea harbor at Basseterre that is capable of handling cargo ships. Ocean freight is not as expensive as air freight.

Air Freight

Train Freight

Saint Kitts and Nevis have a narrow gauge railway of 58km that is centered in Basseterre but circles the entire island. Train freight is not affected by weather conditions or traffic.
