Trinidad & Tobago doesn't run a Christmas duty-free barrel concession, so barrels pay the usual charges all year round. December sailings are our busiest, so book early.
All Christmas cut-off datesWaypoint ships barrels, boxes, pallets and personal effects from Southampton to Port of Spain, Trinidad. Whether you’re sending a Christmas barrel to family in San Fernando or Arima, supplies to Chaguanas, or your household goods for a move home, you deal with one Southampton team from booking to arrival. Every sailing on this page shows its cargo closing date, so you know how long you have to pack.
Your cargo is cleared through the Customs and Excise Division in Port of Spain. We’ll let you know when the vessel is in and what the person collecting needs to bring. Keep your booking reference and a list of what’s in each barrel, with rough values, to hand. It makes clearance quicker.
Trinidad and Tobago doesn’t run a Christmas barrel concession, so barrels pay the usual duty and VAT on their contents all year round. December is our busiest month, so book early to get your barrel there for Christmas, and follow our WhatsApp updates for closing-date reminders.
Moving home for good? Citizens, former citizens and their spouses aged 18 or over who have lived abroad for at least five consecutive years can bring in household effects they’ve owned and used for a year or more free of duty and VAT, up to TT$100,000. Your goods should arrive within two months either side of your return. One vehicle can come in with reduced duty, depending on how long you’ve owned it. Apply in writing to the Comptroller of Customs through a customs broker, with a sworn affidavit and proof of overseas residence. Ask us about a container for a full move.
Most household goods, food, clothing and gifts travel well in barrels and boxes. For Christmas cut-offs, see our Christmas shipping guide. We also handle vehicle shipping and full containers to Trinidad.
