Appliances Shipping Cost from Cartagena to Kingston

Shipping a 40ft container to Jamaica costs roughly $2,500 to $5,500 USD for ocean freight, depending heavily on your origin (e.g., US East Coast cheaper than China) and current rates, with potential added costs like customs duties (5-40% GCT) and processing fees. Expect base rates from the U.S. to be in the $2,500-$4,000 range, while China can be $3,000-$5,000+, with rates fluctuating due to demand and origin.

USPS's Priority Mail International is the cheapest way to ship to Jamaica from the US. It aims to deliver within 6-10 business days.
