What are some of the things you should know about shipping to Haiti?
• You must file a Shipper’s Export Declaration for commodities exceeding $2,500—If your shipment contains a single commodity worth more than $2,500 USD, you need to complete a Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED). This information is used for export compliance and governmental reporting, and it’s required by the US Census Bureau. If you need assistance completing this documentation, an Amerijet customer service representative can help you.
• Certain commodities require permits or licenses—Unless you’re shipping general dry cargo, your shipment may require certain permits or special licenses. To ensure that your goods can be transported to Guyana without special permits, you should verify the commodity type with your shipping company.
• Haiti’s national holidays may affect your shipping schedule—Make sure to schedule your shipment around the Republic of Haiti’s official national holidays, especially if your shipment is time sensitive. Haiti’s holidays include:
