Shipping internationally to Grenada? Read on.
Grenada is an island country consisting of one primary island and six smaller surrounding islands. It is one of the world’s largest exporters of nutmeg and mace, which not only contributes to the economic livelihoods of its 110,000 citizens, but also explains why Grenada is known as the “Island of Spice.”
In addition to spice export, tourism is one of Grenada’s main economic forces. Located between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada’s tropical climate lends itself to beach resort and water-sports tourism as well as a destination for cruise ships.
International shipping to Grenada follows most standard international shipping regulations. Specifically, the following items are prohibited:
- Ammunition
- Firing-caps
- Charged metal cartridges
Shipping international freight requires additional planning and extra attention to detail, especially with regard to how your items will be properly packed, crated, and transported. Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning a shipment to Grenada:
- Determine the method of shipping and handling – Once your shipment arrives on the island, how will it be transported to its final destination. This is a consideration that is often overlooked.
- Proper packing – A professional packing company can help you protect against common shipping problems such as breakage, moisture, pilferage, and excess weight.
- Labeling – All countries – Grenada included – require specific information to be included on labels or in manifest records. Again, an experience shipping company can assist in this process.
- Insurance – Since your shipment will be traveling a long distance, as an example it is more than 2,500 miles from Houston to Grenada, it is important to take proper precautions in the event of inclement weather, accidents, or other incidents that could damage your shipment.
