FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers before your cargo moves.
Every shipment is different. These answers cover the essentials, and our team can review your specific documents and guide you through the next steps.
Discuss your shipment →Are brokerage fees separate from customs duties?
Yes. Brokerage fees cover the professional service involved in preparing, submitting and coordinating your clearance. Customs duties, taxes and other government or third-party charges are separate. We explain the expected costs clearly so you can plan with confidence before your shipment is processed.
Which islands do you service?
We provide brokerage support throughout all islands of The Bahamas. Whether your shipment is destined for New Providence, Grand Bahama, Exuma or another Family Island, contact us to discuss the most efficient clearance and delivery coordination for your location.
Do you handle vehicles and containers?
Yes. We assist with the clearance of vehicles as well as personal and commercial container shipments. Our team will identify the documents required, guide you through the process and coordinate the clearance details to help avoid unnecessary delays.
How long does customs clearance take?
Timing depends largely on how quickly all required documents are provided and whether additional reviews are needed. Processing is generally fairly quick once complete and accurate documents have been submitted to the broker. Contacting us early allows us to review your paperwork before arrival and keep the process moving.
How are customs duties calculated?
A customs duty calculator can provide a useful rough estimate, but it should not be treated as the final amount. The actual charges can depend on the item’s classification, value, supporting documents and applicable customs rates or fees. Eighty8 can review your shipment details and documentation to help you arrive at a more accurate figure before clearance.
