How does Bremol prepare cargo in Miami?
• Consolidation. Smaller consignments share container space, known as LCL, on the weekly sailing. Larger loads move as a full container, or FCL.
• Barrels and packing. Bremol supplies plastic and fibreboard barrels on request, then sizes, seals and labels them for consolidation and customs.
• Manifesting and documents. Bremol manifests each load, prepares the bill of lading and packing list, and reviews the paperwork before departure.
• Vehicles, boats and oversized cargo. Motor vehicles, boats and watercraft, machinery and other large freight travel by ocean freight. Vehicles must meet St. Vincent's import rules, covered below.
• Specialised cargo.
Reefer containers and refrigerated trailers protect perishables. Certified dangerous goods staff classify, pack, label and document regulated cargo to IMDG requirements.
What happens when cargo reaches Kingstown?
Ocean cargo is cleared at Kingstown, where cargo operations are moving from the older City Port to a new terminal at Rose Place under the Kingstown Port Modernisation Project. The project is funded by the Caribbean Development Bank, the UK Caribbean Infrastructure Fund and the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, according to its project profile. Ask
Bremol which terminal arrangements apply to your sailing.
Clearance then follows five steps, according to a customs guide for St. Vincent:
2. The broker validates and assesses the entry to establish duties and taxes.
3. Duties are paid at the customs cashier or from a prepayment account.
4. A customs officer issues the release order.
What will customs charge on cargo to St. Vincent?
Duties and taxes are calculated on the CIF value, which is the cost of the goods plus insurance and freight. A third-party customs guide lists these charges:
- Import duty: 0% to 20%, based on the CARICOM Common External Tariff, by product.
- Value added tax, or VAT: 16% on taxable imports.
- Customs Service Charge: 4% of the CIF value, including duty-waived goods.
- Vehicle surcharge: EC$4,000 on vehicles more than four years old.
