Shipping a container to Jamaica costs roughly $1,500-$3,500 for a 20ft container and $2,500-$5,500+ for a 40ft container from the US, but prices vary widely by origin (e.g., Miami cheaper than West Coast) and carrier, plus you'll pay Jamaican duties, taxes (GCT), and fees (Customs Admin Fee) on arrival, often 20-40% of the goods' value. Expect base freight from the US in the $1,800-$3,000 range for 20ft/40ft, but consider potential high import duties and taxes.

For the absolute cheapest shipping to Jamaica, especially for small/light items, USPS Priority Mail International is often the winner; however, for larger/heavier items or better tracking, use a freight forwarder (like Parcel Monkey, NEX, AMID Logistics ) for discounted rates or specialized barrel shipping services, as they offer the best value by bundling services and leveraging bulk discounts for sea freight.
