OCEAN FREIGHT SHIPPING TO MARTINIQUE

Do you want to ship containers, heavy-duty cargo, or vehicles to Martinique? Latin American Cargo provides cost-effective and highly reliable ocean freight services to Martinique, serving the port of Fort-de-France – the main port of entry for approximately 95% of the goods imported and exported in Martinique, equipped to handle a wide range of cargoes from general/bulk, Ro-Ro/container vessels, and tankers.

Depending on your requirements, you can choose from a variety of shipping methods, including door-to-port, port-to-port, and door-to-door delivery.

In addition to standard shipping solutions, we offer specialized sea freight services for all kinds of cargo, including humanitarian aid supplies, hazardous materials, or oversized shipments.

CONTAINER SHIPPING TO MARTINIQUE

FCL – Full Container Load

We offer full container load services to Martinique in 20ft and 40ft containers. Should you require another type of equipment to handle the cargo, such as open-top containers, flat racks, reefers, or others, our specialized equipment division will offer you the best alternatives available.

LCL – Less Than Container Load

Our ocean consolidation service is the best solution if your shipment cannot fill an entire container. When using this service, the rate applicable is based on the volume of the cargo. Weight-based pricing applies, however, if the cargo exceeds the maximum permitted weight per cubic meter.

RO/RO SHIPPING TO MARTINIQUE

Roll-On/Roll-Off is the cheapest and safest way to transport vehicles and heavy equipment to Martinique. With RORO, your cargo is simply driven on and off a specific vessel, or towed using a modular transporter. Whatever the type and size of your wheeled or static cargo, we can ship it via RORO to Martinique.

BREAKBULK – PROJECT CARGO TO MARTINIQUE

Breakbulk shipping is the best option when your freight is too large or too heavy to fit into standard containers. Our Project Cargo team possesses the necessary experience to plan every detail proactively whenever you need to ship out-of-gauge cargo that must be loaded individually rather than in containers onto an ocean vessel.

IMPORT AND CUSTOMS PARTICULARS

When shipping internationally by sea or air to Martinique for the first time, assistance will be highly recommended, since there are several restrictions, prohibitions, and guidelines to consider. Shipping to Latin America and the Caribbean is easier with LAC as we have overcome these obstacles many times and have developed a thorough understanding of the customs procedures.

What paperwork is needed for international shipments to Martinique?

Documentation requirements vary depending on the category of goods being shipped and can get quite extensive. They usually include Commercial invoice, Bill of lading / Air waybill, Packing list, Insurance certificate, and Certificate of Origin (if required).

To avoid delays or hassles, your packing list must be as detailed as possible. Vague wording like “miscellaneous” attracts negative attention and further inspections.

What are the regulations and restrictions when shipping to Martinique?

Regulations can be strict on certain categories of goods being imported to Martinique. Prior authorization or special permits may be needed for certain items such as agricultural products, processed foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or antiques.

Restricted and prohibited commodities include some types of used vehicles and machinery, live animals, tobacco, spirits and wine, and chemicals.

What are the import duties and tariffs when shipping to Martinique?

Tariffs and duties are usually calculated based on the total value of the shipment. Depending on how well-documented the cargo is, these values may be determined on the spot by local customs officials.
