Shipping to Jamaica from New Jersey

Shore to Shore Shipping moves barrels, boxes, containers, and air freight from our Union, New Jersey office to Kingston and Montego Bay, Jamaica. New Jersey is home to one of the largest Jamaican-American communities in the United States, and our NJ headquarters sits minutes from the Port of New York and New Jersey — so your shipment consolidates close to the port and sails on a lane we run every cycle. This page explains how shipping to Jamaica from New Jersey works, what we ship, and how to get started.

Why Ship to Jamaica from New Jersey

New Jersey is a natural origin point for Jamaica shipping. The state has a large Jamaican diaspora, the Port of New York and New Jersey is a major container gateway, and Shore to Shore Shipping is headquartered right here in Union, NJ. That combination means short inland transport, frequent consolidation, and a team that specializes in the NJ-to-Jamaica lane specifically — not a general freight broker routing your shipment through a distant hub.

What We Ship from NJ to Jamaica

• Barrels — the affordable way to send personal goods, groceries, and household supplies.
• Boxes and packages — for smaller shipments that do not fill a barrel.
• LCL and FCL containers — for larger personal or commercial cargo.
• Air freight — for urgent or high-value shipments that cannot wait for an ocean sailing.
• Vehicles — cars and other vehicles shipped to Jamaica.

How NJ-to-Jamaica Shipping Works

1. Drop off your packed shipment at our Union, NJ office — or ask us about pickup arrangements.
2. We consolidate your shipment into an ocean container or air freight dispatch headed for Jamaica.
3. Your shipment sails or flies to Kingston or Montego Bay.
4. The consignee clears it through Jamaica Customs (they need a TRN and the shipping documents).
5. The consignee collects the shipment at our Jamaica office, or we deliver it door-to-door.

Destinations in Jamaica

Shipments arrive through Kingston and Montego Bay, where Shore to Shore Shipping has offices. From there, the consignee can collect at our office, or we can arrange onward delivery island-wide. The destination in Jamaica affects the last-mile portion of your quote — delivery to a rural address costs more than pickup at our Kingston or Montego Bay office.

Get Started from New Jersey

Bring your packed, sealed, and labeled shipment to our Union, NJ office, or request a quote first so we can confirm the service, timing, and cost for your specific shipment. The more detail you give us — contents, size, weight, destination, and whether you need door-to-door — the more accurate your quote.
