Understanding The Different Types Of Freight Transportation

When conveying shipments to Barbados, two means of transportation are majorly used. These are air and sea freight transportation.

The means of transportation that you should utilize depends on your need. If you desire relatively faster shipping, then air freight transportation will be the suitable option for you. On the other hand, if you wish for more cost-effective shipping, then ocean freight transportation is your best bet. In addition to that, sea freight transportation is suggested to be the most effective means, even though air freight transportation is also reliable. Furthermore, you need to check if the delivery is done port-to-port, or whether door-to-door service is available.

Additional Shipping Costs

Additional Shipping Costs

Shipments conveyed to Barbados can be claimed at the seaport or airport relatively easily, at least in respect to their location in the country. You could also try door-to-door service if you aren't conversant with how to receive your goods at the ports.

Other shipping costs worth considering include:

  • Custom duties
  • Container inspection fees
  • General Rate Increase
  • Inland delivery charges
  • Quarantine fees
  • Insurance

While international shipping is relatively safer than it used to be, nobody will want to be in a position where they are accountable for any damages that occur along the line. Therefore, it is reasonable and necessary to ask about insurance coverage. Insurance is measured based on the monetary value of your items other than the weight or volume.
