How
long does it take to get cargo out of the Bridgetown Port once it
has arrived?
As long as you documentation is in order and all duties and taxes
have been paid to the relevant Authorities, full container loads
can be drawn out of the Port the same day it arrives. Breakbulk
cargo can usually be drawn within one day while less than container
load/consolidated cargo must be first unstuffed from the container
in which it arrives. This can take as much as 3 - 7 days. But once
this has been done your cargo may be drawn immediately on presentation
of the completed and correct documentation. Refrigerated cargo can
be drawn the same day as long as the container is unstuffed in the
cold-storage facility. Some importers have the correct electrical
hook-up at their premises and draw their full reefer containers
directly to their warehouses. Usual Customs inspection and regulations
will apply.
