Getting a clear picture of your total cost upfront saves you from surprises later. Here’s a straightforward guide to 2026 pricing:
| Service | Typical Cost (from) |

| 20ft container (FCL) | from £1,500 |
| 40ft container (FCL) | from £2,500 |
Your exact price depends on container size, load type, service level (FCL, LCL, or shared), collection location, and seasonal shipping rates. Get in touch for a firm, tailored quote before you book.
A 20ft container is ideal for small households, personal effects, or part-loads. It offers secure, enclosed transport and is popular for relocations and student or family shipments.
The 40ft container suits larger homes, full household moves, or commercial cargo, giving you more space and better value for large-volume freight.
Don’t need a full container? Shared, or groupage shipping, lets you split container space with other shipments, cutting your cost while still giving you the full security of proper ocean freight to Jamaica.
We ship containers into both of Jamaica’s major ports. Kingston is our primary destination for general cargo, household goods, and personal effects, while Montego Bay is also available depending on your shipment and schedule. UK departure ports include Felixstowe, Tilbury, Southampton, and Liverpool.
Transit times normally run 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your departure port, destination port (Kingston or Montego Bay), and seasonal factors. We provide estimated timelines before shipping and keep you updated throughout the journey for a smooth, predictable delivery.
You’ll normally need a passport copy, packing list, Bill of Lading, proof of address, and shipping invoice. Returning residents may require additional supporting documents. Our team reviews everything in advance to keep your export and Jamaica customs clearance moving without delays. For general guidance on Jamaican import rules, see the Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA).
We assist with Jamaica customs clearance, helping you understand duties, taxes, and import rules before shipping. Our experienced team ensures paperwork is accurate, cutting the risk of delays and extra costs at the port.
A long sea crossing calls for proper cover. We recommend marine cargo insurance on every container shipment to Jamaica, so your goods are protected for their full value from UK collection through to delivery at Kingston or Montego Bay.
Every step is managed professionally with clear communication from start to finish. If you’re shipping a vehicle rather than household goods, our car shipping guide to Jamaica walks through the vehicle-specific process in full detail.
Prices start from £700 for a shared LCL load, £1,500 for a 20ft FCL container, and £2,500 for a 40ft FCL container. Your final cost depends on load type, service level, and destination port.
Sea freight typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the shipping route, departure port, container service type, and seasonal schedules.
You’ll usually need a passport copy, packing list, Bill of Lading, shipping invoice, and UK contact details. Returning residents or commercial cargo may require additional documents.
FCL means your goods occupy a full container, offering privacy and faster handling. LCL, or shared/groupage shipping, means your cargo shares container space with others, reducing cost for smaller loads.
