Send Packages to the Bahamas

Welcome to MDE, your reliable partner for shipping international packages. Below we offer you a detailed guide to the key features, costs and considerations when sending a package from Europe to the Bahamas. Our mission is to provide you with a transparent, efficient and secure shipping experience.

Proper packaging

  1. Packaging Materials: We use strong boxes and cushioning materials such as air bubbles, kraft paper or packing peanuts.
  2. Sealing: All boxes are protected with film and sealed with strong adhesive tape and stickers.
  3. Reusable boxes: We try to reuse boxes whenever we can to reduce our pollution footprint as much as possible.
  4. Repackaging: If you need to change the packaging of your goods, we are here to help you.

We take care of your merchandise as if they were ours!

Shipping costs, times and options

  • Carriers: We work only with trusted carriers with guarantees, such as DHL, UPS, TNT, Fedex and other locations in each country where we operate.
  • Shipping addresses: You can send to the carrier's home or collection point.
  • Shipping Costs: Find out about shipping rates depending on the weight, size of the package and the chosen service. You can calculate shipping costs using the transportation quote.
  • Estimated Deadlines:
    • Delivery times vary depending on the carrier and the service selected.
    • On average, shipments from Europe to the Bahamas take between 5 to 10 days
  • Shipping Options:
    • Standard delivery: Economical but with longer delivery times.
    • Delivery with stopover: Combination of couriers with stopover at a warehouse in the network so that you save as much as possible, with longer delivery times.
    • Express delivery: More expensive but guarantees longer deliveries fast.
  • Shipping Insurance:
    • Basic insurance included. In case of incidents, €6.67/kg domestic and €10/kg international will be covered.
    • Optional premium insurance with full coverage based on the declared value of the package.

All shipments have a tracking number included!

Restrictions and Regulations

Prohibited items: The Bahamian list is short but with island quirks worth knowing:

  • Spear guns: all prohibited, with the sole traditional exception of the "Hawaiian Sling". If you spearfish, check the exact type before buying.
  • Brand counterfeits: automatic seizure.
  • Obscene material and drugs: absolute prohibition.

Restricted items: Possible with prior authorisation:

  • Firearms, ammunition and fireworks: prior permit from the Royal Bahamas Police Force; without it, seizure and a case file.
  • Fresh food, plants and agricultural products: sanitary permit from the Bahamian Ministry of Agriculture; packaged processed goods are usually fine.
  • Medicines: prescription in the recipient's name, personal quantities.
  • Marine radio equipment and drones: check first with URCA (the regulator); the islands are strict about spectrum.

Have no fear, our team of experts is here to assist you at all times.

Customs procedures

  • Package Review: The Bahamas Customs Department clears everything through its electronic platform Click2Clear: the declaration is filed online, taxes are computed on it, and delivery reaches Nassau, Freeport and the Family Islands. It's one of the most digitised clearances in the Caribbean, and with the right invoice the process is fast.
  • No de minimis for parcels: Tax applies from the first dollar. Don't be misled: the US$500 (residents) and US$100 (visitors) allowances you see in travel guides apply only to accompanied traveller luggage, never to shipped parcels.
  • The key is the per-product duty: The Bahamas has no income tax and funds the state at the border, so gaps between categories are huge: computers, laptops, books and watches enter at 0%; mobile phones at 10%; clothing and footwear at 20%; a TV at 35%. Choosing what to ship makes all the difference.
  • Taxation: On the total landed cost (value + duty + freight + insurance + fees) you pay 10% VAT, plus a 1% Customs Processing Fee. Example: an US$800 laptop would pay only VAT (~US$85 with freight in the base) because its duty is 0%; US$800 of clothing would add US$160 of duty on top. Same value, very different bill.
  • Paying duties and taxes: The recipient, via courier or a Click2Clear broker. Express couriers (2-4 working days from Europe) usually advance the charges and collect on delivery.
  • Documentation and release: Commercial invoice with real value and per-item description. With that, release in Nassau is usually same-day after payment.
  • MDE tip: If your order mixes categories (clothing + electronics), ask for itemised invoices: correct per-item classification stops the whole parcel being taxed at the highest rate.

Frequently asked questions about shipping to the Bahamas

What items cannot be sent to The Bahamas?

The Bahamas bans spear guns (with the sole traditional exception of the "Hawaiian Sling"), brand counterfeits, obscene material and drugs. Check the restrictions section on this page before buying; it has the full list with the nuances.

Do I need to declare the package contents and value?

Yes, always. The Bahamas Customs Department processes the electronic declaration in its Click2Clear platform and checks it against the invoice. Declare the real purchase value: obvious undervaluation means retention and penalties that cost more than the tax. We prepare the declaration for you from your invoice.

What happens if my package contains restricted items?

Firearms and fireworks need Royal Bahamas Police authorisation; fresh food and plants need an agriculture permit; medicines travel with a prescription. Until the permit is in Click2Clear, the parcel waits. If the permit never arrives, or the item is outright prohibited, it gets seized. That is why it pays to ask us BEFORE buying any regulated product: we will tell you which paper it needs and how to get it.

What additional costs can I expect when sending a package to The Bahamas?

No exemption threshold for parcels: tax applies from the first dollar. Duty depends heavily on the product (computers, books and watches 0%; phones 10%; clothing 20%; TVs 35%), then 10% VAT on the landed cost plus a 1% processing fee. An US$800 laptop pays ~US$85; the same amount in clothing, ~US$245. The courier may add a small clearance handling fee. Our quoting tool shows the real total before you buy.

How can I make sure my package arrives on time?

Three keys: express shipping, a clear invoice with the real value (avoids manual review) and no regulated item without its prior permit. Consolidating in your MDE locker also helps: one well-documented shipment clears better than several small ones.

How long does a package take to arrive in The Bahamas?

By express, 2 to 4 working days from Europe to Nassau or Freeport; Click2Clear clearance usually resolves the same day payment is made. Your MDE dashboard shows the real options with their timelines before you trigger the shipment.

What should I do if my package is held at customs?

Don\'t panic: most holds are about paperwork, not violations. The courier notifies you of the reason; it is almost always solved by providing the purchase invoice, the prescription or the missing permit. Write to us with your tracking number and we will manage the case with you until release.

How can I track my package?

Every shipment includes a tracking number. Follow it on the carrier\'s site or straight from your MDE dashboard, stage by stage: departure from our warehouse, transit, customs clearance and delivery in The Bahamas.

What documents do I need to send a package to The Bahamas?

For normal purchases, just the invoice or receipt with the real value: we prepare the rest of the export paperwork and the declaration. Itemised invoice (do not lump different categories in one line): correct per-item classification stops the whole parcel being taxed at the top rate.

Can I send gifts to The Bahamas and how should I declare them?

Yes, declared at real value. The Bahamas does not exempt gifts sent by parcel: the US$500/US$100 allowances in travel guides are only for traveller luggage. A gift is taxed by its category, so the best fiscal gifts are 0%-duty ones (books, watches, computing).

How much duty applies by product?

It varies by item: clothing and footwear 20%, phones 10%, TVs 35%, while computers, laptops, books and watches enter at 0%. A 1% Customs Processing Fee is added.

Is there a tax-free minimum?

Not for parcels. The US$500 (resident) and US$100 (visitor) allowances are only for accompanied traveller baggage, not for forwarded shipments.

Which purchases are cheapest to import into the Bahamas?

The 0%-duty categories: computers, laptops, books and watches pay only the 10% VAT plus the 1% fee. Clothing (20%), phones (10%) and TVs (35%) carry full duty. If you are choosing between shipping electronics or fashion, computing wins almost every time; confirm it in the quoting tool.
