Moving and Shipping to Belize
I have shipped containers from both Texas and Florida.
In Florida there is Hyde shipping located near Miami at the Port Everglades port.
They ship to Belize twice a week.
You can have a box or a pallet delivered to their warehouse, but make arrangements in advance.
To contact them http://www.hydeshipping.com/main.asp
In Texas there are several shipping companies. We normally mail or deliver our goods personally since I am from Texas. We order on line and have it consolidated till everything arrives, then they ship. The two that I have used are Seaboard http://www.seaboardmarine.com/sml/ and
Sterling Freight. http://www.sterlingfreight.com/.
Contact them for prices. We use Sterling Freight for smaller shipments. They are really necessary for the average person because they handle most of the paperwork and get your shipment delivered to your door. They have all the connections and know how to get it to you. They will give you a address and shipping instructions. Just have your items u.p.s or u.s. postal to their warehouse. Keep good communications and keep all receipts for all items they will need these for customs. This goes for all shipping you will be charge a tax on all items by losing that receipt may keep your shipment delayed.
I use Seaboard for larger shipments and Sterling Freight for smaller shipments.
Sterling Frieght is located in Cayo, so you would need to get your things trucked from there.
They do have their own customs broker,which cuts costs a little.They will also help with delivery to the cayes, and other locations in Belize.
You will need to get a broker once your shipment arrives, the shipping company should recommend a few brokers.
I have been told Canadians have to ship threw Florida , contact your local shipping agency or call Hyde Shipping.
