Moving International To or From Aruba

Moving International To Or From Aruba

Aruba is a gorgeous island off the coast of Venezuela. This country is well-known for its endless tropical beaches and sparkling azure waters. If you are moving to this country, first of all, congratulations. Aruba’s beautiful weather and relaxed lifestyle make it a popular destination for expats.

Since Aruba is an island, you will have only two options for shipping your belongings. You can send your items via shipping container, which is the choice most people make. A full container will hold the contents of a 2-bedroom house and a half container is suitable for smaller loads. The cost of shipping will depend on your country of origin. From New York to Aruba you could expect to pay around $1,300. Heading to Aruba from Vancouver, Canada your costs will be closer to $5,800. The other option is to ship your belongings via air freight, but due to the cost most people only use this option to ship antiques or valuables.

In Aruba, customs officials, through the Inspectorate of Customs and Excise, are responsible for customs inspection and enforcement.

For the most part, your household imports will be customs duty and tax-free. You will have up to a year to import your goods, so you can make multiple shipments if necessary.
