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.
We offer full container load services to Turks and Caicos 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.
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.

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.
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.
Regulations can be strict on certain categories of goods being imported to Turks and Caicos. 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, spirits and wine, and some types of toxic wastes.
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.
