Sea freight is the more economical option and is best suited for large, heavy, or non-urgent shipments such as furniture, industrial goods, or personal effects. It is more cost-effective for bulk shipments and offers wider capacity for oversized or heavy items.
You can choose between:
The shipping duration from Singapore to the Bahamas depends on the method of transport you choose.

Shipping goods from Singapore to the Bahamas involves several key steps, each ensuring your items arrive safely, securely, and on time. Whether you are shipping for business or personal reasons, understanding the process will help you plan more efficiently.
Start by reaching out to a reliable shipping or freight forwarding company like M&P International Freights. Provide details about your shipment, such as dimensions, weight, type of goods, and preferred delivery timeline, as well as your contact details, to receive an accurate quote.
Once you have accepted the quote, you can proceed to prepare your goods for shipment.
Once your booking is confirmed, pack your items using the appropriate packing materials. You can either drop off the goods at the freight forwarder’s warehouse or arrange for a pick-up, depending on the service chosen.
Your items will be consolidated (if applicable) and loaded into containers for sea freight or prepared for air cargo. A final check is usually conducted to ensure documentation and labelling meet both Singaporean export and Bahamian import requirements.
Once your goods have been cleared by customs, they will depart from Singapore and begin their journey to the Bahamas.
Once the cargo arrives in the Bahamas and clears customs, it will be handed over to a local delivery partner. From there, it is transported to the final destination—be it a business location, residence, or storage facility.
Yes, you are required to pay import duties and taxes when shipping goods to the Bahamas. The exact amount depends on the type, value, and quantity of the items being imported. Most goods entering the country are subject to customs duties, Value Added Tax (VAT)—currently set at 10–12%—and potentially other fees such as environmental levies or processing charges.
Some categories of goods, such as electronics, vehicles, or luxury items, may attract higher duties. Additionally, exemptions may apply for certain items, especially if they fall under personal effects or are accompanied by the correct documentation. Contact us for more information.
