How to Pack Your Furniture for Shipping

You are responsible for packaging items before drop-off. Follow these tips to ensure your items arrive safely at Kingston port.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Wrap All Surfaces

Cover furniture with moving blankets, bubble wrap, or stretch wrap. Pay special attention to corners and edges which are most vulnerable during ocean shipping.

๐Ÿช›

Disassemble Where Possible

Remove legs from sofas and tables, disassemble bed frames, take drawers out of dressers. This reduces dimension and lowers your shipping cost.

๐Ÿงบ

Empty All Appliances

Fridges, washing machines, and dishwashers must be completely emptied and dry before shipping. Remove all food, water, and detergent. Tape doors shut.

๐Ÿ“บ

Original Boxes for Electronics

Use the original manufacturer's box if available for TVs and electronics. If not, use a custom box with foam padding on all sides and mark FRAGILE.

๐Ÿท๏ธ

Label Everything

Write your name and order number on every item with a permanent marker. This helps us identify your items quickly at the warehouse and during customs.

๐Ÿ“‹

Declare All Items Accurately

Provide an accurate description of all items being shipped. Accurate customs declarations help your receiver avoid delays and unexpected fees at Jamaican customs.

Furniture Shipping to Jamaica FAQ

How much does it cost to ship furniture to Jamaica? โ–ผ
Furniture is priced at $8 CAD per cubic foot. Multiply length ร— width ร— height in inches, divide by 1728 to get cubic feet, then multiply by 8. A standard 3-seater sofa (84โ€ณร—36โ€ณร—34โ€ณ) typically costs around $477 CAD. Use our calculator above.
Can you ship a refrigerator or washing machine to Jamaica? โ–ผ
Yes. We ship fridges, washing machines, dryers, stoves and all major appliances regularly. They must be completely emptied, clean and dry before drop-off. Doors must be secured with tape. A standard fridge typically costs $200โ€“400 CAD to ship.
Is there a size or weight limit for shipping to Jamaica? โ–ผ
No strict weight limit for ocean freight. Items must fit through a standard container door (approximately 7.8 ft ร— 7.8 ft opening). Call us to discuss any unusually large or heavy items.
Do I need to disassemble furniture before shipping? โ–ผ
Not required but strongly recommended. Disassembling reduces dimensions which lowers your cubic foot cost. It also makes items easier to load and less likely to be damaged during transit.
Can I mix furniture and barrels in the same shipment? โ–ผ
Absolutely. Many customers ship barrels and furniture together. Each item type is priced separately โ€” barrels at a flat rate and furniture at $8 per cubic foot. One combined order, one tracking number.
Who pays customs on furniture shipped to Jamaica? โ–ผ
The receiver in Jamaica is responsible for all Jamaican customs duties and General Consumption Tax (GCT). These are assessed by the Jamaica Customs Agency and are separate from our shipping charges.

How to Prepare Furniture & Appliances for Shipping

Items that arrive properly prepared clear our warehouse faster and are less likely to be damaged in transit. Here's how to prep the most common items.

๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Sofas, Beds & Tables

  • โœ“ Remove all legs from sofas, tables, and bed frames โ€” this reduces dimensions significantly and lowers your cubic foot cost
  • โœ“ Disassemble bed frames completely and tape hardware (bolts, screws) in a labelled bag taped to the frame
  • โœ“ Pull out dresser drawers and ship separately or pack soft items inside them โ€” this uses space efficiently
  • โœ“ Wrap glass tabletops and mirrors in thick blankets or bubble wrap and mark FRAGILE clearly
  • โœ“ Write your name and order number on every piece with a permanent marker

๐ŸงŠ Fridges, Washers & Appliances

  • โœ“ Fridges must be completely empty and clean โ€” no food residue. Defrost 24 hours before drop-off
  • โœ“ Washing machines must be fully emptied and dry โ€” no water left inside. Run an empty cycle the day before
  • โœ“ Secure all doors with tape โ€” fridge doors, washer doors, and dryer doors must not swing open in transit
  • โœ“ Remove and pack any loose trays, shelves, or accessories separately to prevent breakage
  • โœ“ Wrap corners and any protruding hardware in foam or thick cloth to protect the container interior

๐Ÿ“บ TVs & Electronics

  • โœ“ Use the original manufacturer's box if available โ€” it's designed exactly for the TV and offers the best protection
  • โœ“ If no original box, use a custom box at least 3 inches larger on all sides with foam padding on every face
  • โœ“ Never ship a flat-screen TV without a box โ€” screens crack easily under pressure from straps and stacking
  • โœ“ Mark FRAGILE on all four sides and on top of the box

๐Ÿ“ฆ Mixing Furniture & Barrels

  • โœ“ Furniture and barrels go in the same container โ€” book them in a single order for one tracking number
  • โœ“ Barrels are priced at the flat rate ($80/$90) and furniture at $8/cu ft โ€” both calculated at booking
  • โœ“ Consider filling empty space inside your sofa (cushion areas) or inside the fridge with soft items in bags โ€” these void spaces are still charged by cubic foot
  • โœ“ One drop-off, one pickup fee for the whole combined shipment

Who Pays Customs on Furniture Shipped to Jamaica?

Our rate covers ocean freight from Canada to Kingston port only. Your receiver in Jamaica is responsible for all customs fees charged by the Jamaica Customs Agency.

๐Ÿงพ

Customs Duty

Rates vary by item type. Used furniture and appliances owned for 6+ months may qualify for reduced duty as personal effects. New items attract full duty rates (typically 15โ€“30% of assessed value).

๐Ÿ“Š

GCT (General Consumption Tax)

Jamaica's equivalent of HST. Currently 15%, applied to most imported goods on the CIF value (your declared value + insurance + our shipping fee). Assessed by Jamaica Customs on arrival.

๐Ÿค

Clearing Agent Fee

Your receiver will need a licensed customs broker to process the shipment at Kingston port. This fee (~JA$6,500โ€“15,000 depending on shipment size) is standard and paid directly to the clearing agent.

Tip for your receiver: Arrange a clearing agent in Kingston before your furniture arrives. Having an agent ready means the shipment can be cleared within days of arrival โ€” avoiding port storage fees that accumulate daily. Your receiver should also have their TRN (Taxpayer Registration Number) ready, as it's required for customs clearance.
