Explore origin and delivery arrangements →Planning your Puerto Rico delivery
Confirm the actual itinerary
Review the origin port, carrier itinerary, transshipment and current capacity. Air and ocean channels can change; a mainland-USA service does not establish island availability.
Clearance and island tax scope
Identify the importer, appropriately licensed brokerage partners and any Puerto Rico-specific steps before booking. Additional clearance, examinations or changed tax treatment must be addressed in the written scope.
Local delivery is a separate stage
The ocean estimate ends at local pickup. Truck delivery follows and depends on the postcode, appointment, cargo size, truck access and unloading arrangements.
DDP & quote scope
Know what your door-to-door quote includes.
For eligible air and LCL shipments, our agreed DDP scope covers the following stages. We confirm the cargo, importer arrangement, postal code and accurate delivery address before finalizing the quote.
- 01Export declaration
- 02International transport
- 03Destination customs clearance
- 04Agreed duties and taxes
- 05Final delivery to the agreed address
Pickup is quoted separately
Tell us if collection is needed. We price pickup from the location and cargo details; supplier delivery to the designated warehouse is also an option.
FCL is quoted shipment by shipment
Container type, quantity, loading location and destination delivery determine the plan. Inclusions are itemized in the written FCL quote.
Air and LCL chargeable weight
Compare actual gross weight with dimensional weight; the higher weight is chargeable.
Air: length × width × height ÷ 5000
Ocean LCL: length × width × height ÷ 6000
Use outer packed dimensions in centimetres for dimensional weight in kilograms. Different packages are recorded separately; the quote specifies aggregation, rounding and any channel minimum. FCL is priced separately.
Customs business is performed by appropriately licensed partners. The written quote identifies the importer arrangement, required documents and conditional costs such as examinations, storage, remeasurement, waiting or additional delivery services.
