Shipping to Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago is the most industrialised economy in the English-speaking Caribbean, and cargo moving there reflects it — commercial and oilfield-adjacent freight sits alongside the family barrels. Shore to Shore Shipping ships barrels, boxes, containers and commercial cargo from Union, New Jersey to Trinidad and Tobago.

Two Islands, One Shipment

Trinidad and Tobago is a single country of two islands, and the distinction matters for delivery rather than for shipping. Cargo generally enters through Trinidad; onward movement to Tobago is a separate leg. Tell us which island the goods are actually going to when you request a quote, so the routing is right from the start rather than discovered at the end.

Port of Spain

Port of Spain is the principal port of entry and one of the better-equipped facilities in the region, with Point Lisas serving heavier industrial traffic. Customs is administered by the Trinidad and Tobago Customs and Excise Division, which assesses duties on imports.

Because the country handles substantial commercial volume, container traffic is routine here in a way it is not on every island lane.

What Moves on This Lane

• Barrels and boxes of food, clothing and household goods for family.
• Commercial stock and retail inventory.
• Industrial parts, tools and equipment.
• Appliances, furniture and household items.
• Carnival-season shipments, which cluster hard around a fixed date.
